Illness

The workplace shall be notified the same day of illness. Please also call the main switchboard, who will notify HR. In the event of illness lasting more than 7 calendar days, a doctor's certificate must be sent to the workplace.

Sick leave

From and including the 2nd day of absence to the 14th day, 20% is deducted. The amount is calculated on the basis of the number of working days sick leave and is paid by the employer. From and including the 15th day to the 90th day of the same period of sick leave, 90% is deducted. From and including day 91, 100% is deducted. Note that from the 15th day of a period of sick-leave sickness benefit is paid out by the social insurance office.

The deduction is calculated as follows

Day 1 = "Karensdag", a qualifying day before benefit may be claimed - 100% deduction

Day 2-14 - 20% deduction

Day 15-90 - 90% deduction

Day 91-  - !00% deduction 

After any absence due to illness you are required to fill in a form ("Assurance of Illness Statement") and submit the form to the Human Resources Office. If an employee falls ill again within 5 calendar days of the end of a previous period of illness, this is considered a part of the first period.
