Meanwhile in France: „I feel a bit sick, see you in 3 years!“
Here in Australia it’s only ten days!
Belgium is wrong? You can be paid sick for all your life.
It’s a little misleading without the amount of sick pay though. In the UK, yes you get 28 weeks of sick pay, but it’s £118.75 a week. It’s better than nothing but it’s not much at all
now do USA … 😂🤣
Technically Spain is 12+6 (you need to pass a tribunal to get extended 6 extra months).
In spain you can be more than 12 months, that’s just the time that you go to a médical council ( tribunal medico) that can extend your leave, force you to go back to work or send you to be valorated for a permanent incapacity
Interesting story from last year. I’m originally from Brazil, but I live and work in Austria. Last year I got sick, had to have surgery, had post surgery complications, ending up needing to stay in hospital for 2 weeks and then 2 more weeks resting at home. I kept my boss aware of what’s going on, while he kept telling me to forget about any work related topic. When I got all the documents from the doctors about needing to stay one full month out of work, I just uploaded them in the HR system from my company and got a „I wish you a good recovery!“ from the HR person, no more questions about my full month absence.
At the same period, a Brazilian friend of mine got sick too, had an even longer stay in hospital than me. He lives in Brazil but works fully remote to an American company. His contract follows US laws, not Brazilian. After being in hospital longer than 10 days, they would start discounting his vacation days, which he didn’t have any left anymore. So, while sick in the hospital, he was having to negotiate with his boss so he could continue to be paid during those extra days past the 10 days sick leaves limit he has. Fortunately his boss really appreciate him so he dealt with HR.
It was such a contrast for me to see the difference in rights you can get from two different countries.
French really does not like working do they
You get 14 days in Singapore but most people do not dare even use one. Taking sick days is considered taboo and could get you into trouble with your standing at work. Same for annual leaves, you are entitled but not encouraged to take them for the same reasons.
In Spain is 12 months yes, but after 12 months they do a doctor meeting with you to revise your case and if you’re unable to work they can extend it.
Sorry my english
I do sometimes wonder how French businesses manage to keep afloat. They must be constantly paying workers who aren’t actually doing any work.
In Poland the first 6 months are paid by the employer, and after it it’s paid by the government. I know because I had sick leave for 18 months
Should read minimum amount of days
It’s a bit misleading.
This is what the employer pays, in many countries you still have paid sick leave from mutualities and these are not capped in duration, which isn’t good either, but still misleading map.
It is 12 WEEKS not months
For Germany its not correct. You get 78 weeks Krankengeld (6 weeks pays the company you working at, 72 weeks pays the health insurance) usually it is up to 90% of your normal paycheck.
And after 78 weeks, if you are still sick, you are getting paid bei „Arbeitsamt“ even though you are still hired by your company. And then it is usually around 65% of your normal paycheck. And as far as I know, you get that money as long as you are sick, so it doesnt mean, if you reached the 78 weeks you are not getting paid at all.
I was sick for around 78 weeks due to colon cancer, so I had to do some research on this topic.
