Canada too. For a brief window of time, the province of Ontario had a law that allowed for a handful of mandatory minimum sick days all workers had to be provided by their work.
Then the province collectively voted for a conservative government, who promptly removed the mandatory sick days. Everyone cheered, of course. Including my mom who voted her own sick days away. Then got breast cancer and lost her job due to the sick days she had to take.
Yeah, more professional companies I’ve worked for gave between 20-30 days of paid time off a year. That includes any days you take off for being sick. After that you can take more time off but you don’t get paid. Fuck around too much and take too many extra sick days and get fired.
Less professional places I’ve worked like local pizza joints or mall stores will fire you if you try and take the wrong day off, even if you’re sick.
Here there’s something called holiday pay, which is extra compensation you earn throughout the year and are given either during or after going on vacation for a month (all while still being paid your regular salary) because, you know, increased expenses during vacation. On top of that you would still be paid if you’re sick any time throughout the year.
What the fuck. If you got a doctor’s note (paid by the workplace) in Denmark you cannot be fired before 120 days have passed. This is not part of the 25-30’ish vacation days you have.
You don’t need a doctor’s note, but if the workplace wants one they have to pay for each one.
Out of sick time?
America.
You have to plan your years illness in advance so as not inconvenience the company.
Yeah, I know…
Such a silly place.
It’s only a model
Shhhhh!
