Please note: This feature is part of Time Off Management which is part of our HR Management package. Please contact your Bizimply Customer Success manager if you are interested in adding this feature to your package.

Security Note

Sick notes contain sensitive employee health data so extra care must be taken in making sure they're being stored in correctly. Attaching sick notes to time off requests and storing them in the Time Off folder is the only approved way to store Sick Notes in Bizimply. Under no circumstances should they be uploaded to any other part of the documents folder or Bizimply platform. Please check your permissions to ensure only the appropriate people have access to these documents.
