In Argentina, employees are entitled to sick leave with pay under the following conditions:
Minimum Sick Leave Duration:
For employees with 0 to 5 years of employment: 3 months
For employees with more than 5 years of employment: 6 months
Compensation:
100%of the salary during the sick leave period, provided the employee:
Sends notice of illness on the first day of absence
Submits to medical control by a doctor appointed by the employer
Medical Certificate:
Employees must provide a medical certificate confirming their illness and the need for sick leave. This certificate is required if the sick leave extends beyond 3 consecutive days.
These requirements ensure that employees receive full pay while recovering from illness, with oversight to manage and validate the sick leave.
