NZ: We're legally entitled to 10 days paid sick leave. If you're out for less than 3 consecutive days you can be asked for a medical certificate but your employer must pay for it. Even then I've never been asked for a medical cert.
this is an American problem I'm guessing
ETA: We've also got huge brain drain problems thanks to the 3 ring circus govt atm. So we could use a little immigration
Aussie here, paid sick leave but i've had employers ask for a certificate
I've never given them one. I'm a fucking adult you're employing
Exactly right. This isn't elementary school. I'd hand them an obvious forgery signed "Barney Piccolo's Mother."
In belgium we used to have 3 days of no-doctor-note sick leave for single days, but they were afraid of people taking it as an extra vacation day so it's been reduced to 2 now.
Sick leave with note is just errr not limited afaik though the social system does take over from your employer in terms of paying you for prolonged sickness.
Sorry but still not good enough. I don't plan out when I am going to be sick in the coming year or how many days it'll take me.
Meanwhile, I got written up for using more than 4 days in a year
At that point ACC would kick in. I think it's up to 80% of your pre illness income, and there are probably other benefits I don't know about
After 15 days, the government has to pay instead, so long as you can prove you are sick.
If you are un(lucky), you can basically be on permanent sick leave here.
