Make it possible to remove the "Approved by HR" tickbox for sickness absences

We would like to be able to remove the "approved by HR" tickbox for sickness absences in settings. Our department managers record and manage sickness, HR approval is not required.

Describe the Challenge currently all sickness absences need to have this tickbox checked in order to complete the return to work causing unnecessary admin for HR.

    'Approved by HR' is a vital tick box. If you don't want to use it, just ignore it.
