There are two ways in PayFit to add sick leaves. You can enter it in a particular employee's record, or you can add absences for multiple employees using the bulk import option.
Adding sick leave per employee
From the employee's record, click the Leaves tab.
Under the Sick leave section, click Add sick leave.
From the Type of sick leave drop-down, choose the relevant reason.
Enter the first and last day of sickness, and select whether the first day of sickness was a full day, or a half day.
If you'd like to upload proof of sickness, such as a Fit Note, scroll down to the Proof of sickness section and click Upload document here.
Click Save.
PayFit automatically calculates your employee's sickness deduction and sick pay entitlement.
Adding sick leave in bulk
From the left, choose Imports, then More Imports.
Scroll down to Add new sick leave.
Click Download a template then complete the template with your sick leave information.
Follow the on-screen instructions to upload your completed file.
