| Why do I have to run the Wizard? |
| Sickness Header records run from the
start to the finish of the Sickness period but this does not tell us how many
working days the person has been absent. For example, your employee may be part time or they may work on a rota on a ROTA. The Wizard fills in each day the person was actually off
The wizard will provide a detailed record of days actually lost through sickness. |
| |
|
| Rota or Profile? |
| Most staff will need a working profile.
This is designed for people who work the same hours every week, whether this
be full or part time.
Staff who have a working pattern that is not the same every week will
need to be allocated a rota. |
| |
|
| From what date is a fit note active? |
| A fit note is active from the date it is signed.
If a fit note is signed in the evening that day is included in the
period covered by the fit note. |
| |
|
| What is the number in the SR
column? |
| SR stands for Sickness Records. The
figure represents the number of absences in the past year. |
| |
|
| Why are some SR
figures red and some blue? |
| If the figure is
blue this means that all records have been completed and are
marked as finished. A red figure means
that one or more records have not been marked as finished. A
bold red figure means that
all records for this person are un-finished. |

|
| When I open SAMS I am given a message that
the database is read only. Why is this? |
| You have downloaded the ZIP file
containing the program but are running the program from the ZIP file,
rather than extracting it to your desktop and then running it. (there
are instructions on how to unzip the program , just below the download
link) |
| |
|
| This person has an odd extra post.
Why? |
| If the staff memberis a hall warden or has an honorarium
or some other extraneous duties they may have a post
with a notional FTE. This record can be hidden as there is
no need to record sickness against it. |
| |
|
| The person I am entering data for has a
slightly odd working pattern. Can I override the Wizard? |
| Yes. The wizard
will enter the days based on teh working pattern or rota but you
may delete, adjust or add days to the Wizard's results. |
| |
|
| When I run the Wizard it does not fill
in any records. |
Does the period of sickness
cover days on which the person does not work?
|
| |
|
| On start up I get an ODBC error and
nothing works. |
| This is normally due to an incorrect
registry setting on you PC. It may say something like
windows/system whereas it should be windows/system32 Please
