Imagine having a set amount of days you’re allowed to be sick and are expected not to use them when you actually are sick.
The US is not failing. It has always been fucked up.
You make my current government look reasonable even when it’s making using healthcare as much of an annoyance and throwing as many obstacles in your way as possible.
Won’t happen here either. If you are sick, your employer has to pay your regular salary for six weeks. After that, your health insurance pays Krankengeld (usually 70% of your gross salary) for up to 72 more weeks. After that, unemployment insurance covers you.
Employer only pays first week or two here, after that it’s the government till you hit 6 months. Companies would go bankrupt left and right if they had to pay 6 weeks lol. My ex takes the maximum sick leave she can while still getting paid, about half a year of sick leave every year. Essentially, she gets a job, works for a week or 2, then breaks a wrist on purpose or gets a migraine. But it’s not always the whole six months straight, sometimes it’s a month and then she works for another week. That would reset the employer’s duty to pay her sick leave and puts the company in an awkward position if it’s a smaller one.

Do you understand how little that narrows it down?
I have a set amount of sick days too unfortunately.
180 days in a year. After that the government says tough luck, work or starve.

Half the year? Is this satire? 😂
I’m part time, and if I don’t miss anything, I “earn” 19 hours of “vacation time” / PTO a year. There is no “sick time” at all. 😂
Hey now it’s not like I can get a doctor appointment anyway
