Thank you for the explanation.

I have no words for this. I'm... That's... It's just... Wow.

They do here.

If you fire someone just for getting sick, you can expect the union to sue you. They have really good lawyers. Your best option is to settle out of court. And now you are not popular with the union, giving you less leeway in the next case.

It just easier and cheaper to do the right thing, which includes documentation of how you did your best to make it work.

The employer isn't required to let sick people be sick?? Or are they only required to grant unpaid sick leave?

This is hard for me to wrap my head around. Here, if a new employee gets sick within the first 8 weeks, the employer can get the pay partially refunded. But the employer must always pay in full during sick leave.

This is one of the basic problems - mixing sick leave an vacation.

This thing where you have a certain number of sick days to spend, it often ends up as another kind of vacation. And then when you are out of sick leave, your vacation leave is just another kind of sick leave.

Here in Denmark, there's virtually unlimited sick leave. If you're sick, you take a leave with full pay. No "max 14 days of paid sick leave". If you need to go to the doctor and you can't do it outside working hours, it's sick leave.

Then your vacation leave is for vacation. And sometimes errands, but with 25-30 days per year, there should be time for both.

I'm in Denmark, if I need to go to the doctor, dentist etc during working hours, it is usually counted as sick leave. This means full pay and no deduction in vacation time, and here we don't run out of sick leave.

Although we do have a dury to try doing it outside office hours.

Meanwhile, here in Denmark any manager I've ever had insists that I take sick day when I'm sick. Not for my sake, for the company.

And i have virtually unlimited sick days, I don't loose any money or vacation days by taking sick leave.

Also, if the place is understaffed because just one person is on sick leave, that's a management decision. Why would anyone who cares about you, be pissed at you for acting sick while being sick...

But still more likely than being killed by a cow.

That sound like lacking coverage to me.

Denied= not covered

Not covered when you need it = lack of coverage

It went up BY 18%, not up TO 18%. This says nothing about how bad it is, only that it's getting worse.

It went up TO 0.23%.
