V2 - Sickness Types

Within Chronicle, there are various sickness types available as well as the functionality to create your own. The ones available by default are: 

• Paid Sick
• Unpaid Sick
• SSP

However, it is possible to create your own sickness types, this allows for more flexibility on sickness rules, as creating different sickness types can have different rules against them. 

To locate the sickness types to create or edit existing ones, access the 'Settings' via the option in the bottom-left corner, then the 'Holiday, Sick and Absence' drop-down and finally, 'Sickness'.

Within the sickness screen, click the orange 'Create Sickness' button or, to edit an existing sickness type, double-click on the relevant sickness type to open the details.
