Sickness
Installing this app gives your employees a fast way to tell their manager they're unwell and can't work today, straight from their phone, instead of a phone call or a string of messages.
How it works
Log today's sickness then let Sense notify the manager
An employee logs in, opens Sickness, chooses a reason from the available options, and can add an optional note before submitting.
Sense confirms the notification to the employee and generates a to-do and email for the manager to review; the manager then adds it to the planner manually if appropriate, so it doesn't change the schedule on its own.
It only covers today: past and future dates aren't supported through the app or the dashboard widget, and trying to log a second entry for a day that already has one returns an error instead.

Common questions
Can employees log a sickness for a previous day?
No, sickness can only be notified for today; past and future dates aren't supported through the app or the dashboard widget.
What happens after an employee submits a sickness notification?
It generates a to-do and an email for their manager to review, and the employee sees a confirmation message.
Does logging a sickness automatically update the schedule?
No, the manager reviews the notification and manually adds it to the planner if appropriate.
What happens if someone tries to log sickness twice in one day?
They'll see an error message if a sickness entry already exists for that day.
