Also, in most countries there are additional paid leave benefits such as parental leave and sick leave that are not listed here.

Where do you see that in your link? I’m not seeing that Pakistan or Oman are mandating any paid sick days.

In Germany, employees with an approved sick note will receive 100% of their salary for up to six weeks, and after that will be paid 70% until fit to work.

1 year 70%, then the govt takes over at 70%.

You get 100% for short absences with all decent employers as a benefit.

The real perk though is unlimited self-certifying. Your employer has no right to know what kind of sick you are.

I had two paid sick days before the new rules. Everyone deserves 10.

No limit is the correct answer.

Or do you think you should work if you are sick?

You’d move to short and long term disability? Make that a right I guess, better yet, unionize. That’s why I have disability full pay as an option. The union.

It makes more sense than infinite sick days.

Even without a union:

But like, make it 100% not half pay. Why punish sick people?

I think if you’re sick and don’t have paid time off you should be allowed to vomit and diarrhea into your boss’s mouth.

Once that happens once or twice they’ll understand the importance of paid sick time.

Or we’ll learn they have a really unsettling kink.
