Sickness Certificates A Infotype (0056) 
Definition
In Sickness Certs A infotype (0056) you record and print all types of sickness certificates (for general practitioners, specialists, dentists, and vacation) for your employees and their family members.
For each quarter you can record up to 15 sickness certificates for each employee/family member. In the infotype you can display and edit the sickness certificate that has been recorded and printed for an employee/family member in a certain quarter. This means that the display is limited to the data for the individual person.
Some employee groups are required to pay a fee for sickness certificates issued for general practitioners, specialists, and dentists. If you record a sickness certificate for a person who is not required to pay this fee, enter the reason for this exemption in the Exemption field. If an exemption reason is listed, during the payroll run, the system does not deduct a fee for the sickness certificate from the employee’s earnings. Vacation sickness certificates and duplicates do not require fees.
If you want to create a duplicate for the sickness certificate, activate the Dp field (Duplicate indicator).
With the address type that you enter in the Ad field, you refer to the address that is stored in the Addresses infotype (0006).
