What should you do?
Illness and salary
Your employer has sickness benefit insurance for employees. Most employers are insured. If your employer is insured, you will continue to receive your salary for 720 or 730 days of illness over 900 days, depending on the type of insurance. Find out more from your employer. Please note: if you are on sick leave, you are not supposed to work. If you do work, the insurance company can file a claim against you and demand you reimburse the benefits you received.
Your employer does not have sickness benefit insurance for employees. In this case, your employer must continue to pay your salary for a certain period: this amounts to three weeks in the first year of employment, and increases every additional year to a maximum of four months. The exact period that the salary is paid varies from region to region.
