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, paid by your employer, 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.
In the platform
Sick leave is configured with no fixed annual balance, so the statutory 3-month and 6-month entitlement periods are not tracked as a running balance. Each absence is recorded individually and reviewed against your length of service.
A supporting document is required with every sick leave request in the platform, regardless of absence length.
Sick leave is recorded in half-day units, so a partial day of absence can be logged accurately.
Requests can be submitted retrospectively.
These requirements ensure that employees receive full pay while recovering from illness, with oversight to manage and validate the sick leave.
