How sick leave affects the amount of holiday pay



The conventional wisdom that to be absent from work because of illness, bad and disadvantageous for the employee. But in fact it is not. The first applies only to young professionals with little work experience, as according to the rules, workers with experience less than 5 years old pay 60% of the benefit, from 5 to 8 years – 80%, over 8 years – 100%. For employees who have worked for over 8 years and retained 100% of average earnings, and to decrease this amount has no rights. If you have a "white" salary, the hospital will care for you safely, this is the essence of state social insurance.


Sick leave does not affect the size of the holiday, as the periods of illness shall be deducted from the calculation, as cash sick pay.


If people only came out after illness and he is supposed to go on leave, the order of the calculation remains the standard as the payment period (three days).

At dismissal, each employee may receive compensation for unused vacation, provided that this right is not used.


Calculation rules are the same as in the selling. This payment is put people who have served in the company of 15 days or more. The period of illness is counted in the period when calculating the compensation. Also, the situation may arise that the employee "has pregoal" put it on vacation, in the calculation of 28 days holiday for one year of work. The sudden dismissal of the employee have to deduct the amount of overpaid vacation pay. To such situations was not uniformly it is desirable to make the vacation schedule and keep track of vacation time each employee individually.
