Summary created with AI assistance · Source: schwaebische.de
- Rainer Dulger, president of the employers' association, suggests paying wages only from the second sick day to reduce misuse of sick leave.
- He argues that a waiting day would lower short-term absences and focus on genuinely necessary sick leave without disadvantaging long-term ill employees.
- Jan van Aken, leader of the Left party, sharply opposes the idea, insisting sick workers should stay home without pay cuts.
- Data reveals that the average sick leave in 2024 increased to 14.8 days per employee, rising by 3.6 days compared to 2021.
We are not in the USA here: If you are sick, you should stay at home – without a wage cut.— Jan van Aken, leader of The Left, reacting to the proposal; van Aken told t-online: We are not in the USA here: If you are sick, you should stay at home – without a wage cut.
