My company offers 3 days of unjustified sick leave for things like colds or minor health issues that don’t really require seeing a doctor.
And sure enough, that guy - always that guy - got sick on Monday, then took a day off on Thursday, and now he’s sick again on Friday. Strangely, his company car reports being at a ski resort 200 miles away.
Because you know, when you’re bedridden, at least you should have a nice view out the window…
I think the person is quite possibly German as we have the same rules.
It is about three days of consecutive sick leave. Meaning you can be sick as long as you “want” to be, but if it is more than three days in a row, you have to get a certificate from a doctor
