Continued pay during illness is a delicate topic. The continued-pay law, collective agreements and how you interpret lost working time are all complex. Darkbird takes a very pragmatic approach here.
What is absence and leave management?
Whether leave, sickness, training or unpaid time off – in a security company absences have to be recorded cleanly, calculated correctly and carried seamlessly into planning and payroll. With Darkbird you define the absence reasons yourself and record an absence in a few clicks. Darkbird calculates the duration automatically – public holidays and the roster are taken into account, so only actual working days count. Leave entitlement is tracked per employee, and in the event of illness the continued pay flows correctly into payroll. Because everything is linked to the roster and billing, there is no double entry – and you can see at any time who is absent when and how entitlements and cover stand.
