It is clearly stipulated in the Labor Law that employees need to take time off for treatment when they are sick. When employees need to ask for leave, they shall submit a written application to the employing unit, and indicate the illness and the time of asking for leave. The employing unit has the right to arrange a person in charge or a doctor for reexamination, and may require employees to provide medical records and other supporting documents. Employees are entitled to salary during sick leave, but if they are sick for more than three days, they need to provide sick leave certificate or diagnosis certificate before they can enjoy salary. In addition, the salary during sick leave shall not be less than 80% of my average salary. At the same time, the accumulated annual sick leave of employees shall not exceed 10 days and 180 days. It should be noted that under some special circumstances, such as occupational diseases, pregnancy, etc., the sick leave period and treatment standard of employees may be different. Please refer to relevant laws and policies for specific provisions.
What if employees can't return to work on time due to poor recovery during sick leave? According to the provisions of the Labor Law, if an employee is unable to return to work within the specified time due to illness during sick leave, he shall promptly explain the situation to the employer and provide the corresponding supporting documents. If the employer believes that there is indeed a situation where it is impossible to return to work, it can make arrangements according to relevant regulations, including extending the sick leave period, arranging light and moderate work or arranging rest. If the employee can't continue to work in the original post, the employer can also consider arranging appropriate adjustment jobs for him.
Sick leave for employees is an important system to protect the rights and interests of workers. According to the provisions of the labor law, employees can apply for sick leave when they need sick leave treatment, and enjoy salary treatment according to regulations. The specific sick leave period and treatment standard need to be appropriately adjusted according to relevant regulations. At the same time, if the employee fails to return to work on time during the sick leave, which leads to violation of relevant regulations, he can negotiate with the employer.
