Hi,

We’d like to set up a workflow which notifies the manager that they need to ask their employee for a doctors notice when the employees sick leave have exceeded 7 consecutive days. The issues we are having is that when people add sick leave for monday-friday and not over the weekends, it does not register as consecutive days even when the sickleave continues for weeks. 

We currently have set up a workflow for “consecutive time off exceeds a limit working days only (sick days only)” but is has not been working. Should we instead use the one that is not working days only? How have you set up working workflows that notifies you when consecutive working days exceeds a limit?

Best,

Josefin

Hi ​@Josefin Bohlin ,

I recreated that in my account and got the following result:

If you want the workflow to be triggered after 7 consecutive days, you could change the Valid On setting in the Time off policy to Mon-Sun:

Then the workflow would work the way you intended it to. Be careful though, because this obviously also means, a week that way 5 sick days before is now going to be 7. Instead, you could also just change the number of days, which trigger the workflow (e.g. 6, since this will automatically mean, the absence goes e.g. from Monday to Monday).

I hope this helps 😊

Warm regards,

Johanna

Hi ​@Advaita,

Thank you very much for looking into this and answering. Would this then mean that if a person enters sickleave Monday-Friday, does not fill out anything on Saturday and Sunday, and then sickleave again on the following Monday, that the workflow “consecutive days” would be triggered as more than 7 days in a row?

 

Best,

Josefin
