        • Name Your Sick Leave Type: Enter a unique name that identifies this type of sick leave (e.g., "Statutory Paid Sick Leave", "Company Paid Sick Leave").

      • Privacy Settings:

        • Sick Leave is Always Private: By default, sick leave is treated as private leave to protect employee confidentiality.
