Absences and sick reports

Vacation is requested and decided. A sick report is only reported and acknowledged. IDup treats the two differently on purpose.

Step by step

1. Choose the type: Vacation, Sick, Sick child (care), Doctor’s appointment, an accident (occupational or non-occupational) or Other absence.
2. Choose the length: full days, a half day (morning or afternoon), hours such as from 14:00, or an open end.
3. For an open end, come back later and enter Fit for work again from ….
4. Send it. Vacation goes into your company’s approval workflow, and you see its status. A sick report is valid at once.

What others see

• Supervisors are informed immediately about a sick report and press Acknowledged. There is nothing to approve.
• The remark is optional. Please give no diagnosis. Only you, your supervisors and HR can see it.
• Colleagues see only Absent in the team absence calendar. Supervisors and HR see the type.

Medical certificate

Your company can require a certificate from a chosen sick day. The usual choice in Switzerland is the 3rd day. If it is missing, you get a push message and the company sees a notice. You can submit it later as PDF or image.

Effect on appointments

Approved absences and public holidays remove free times from booking pages, the embed code and the app. Appointments that already exist are not cancelled. The dashboard shows a notice with Move and a way to give them to another employee.
