@rinconhilldad@clashreport First six weeks you get 100 % of your salary, employer pays. After that the state health insurance takes over at 70 % of gross salary. You can get sick leave for 78 weeks over a 3-year period. After that it’s disability or rehabilitation benefits.
Germany's Chancellor Merz:
We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.
We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.
We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.
