Sick Leave: Employees can take sick leave and receive a benefit from the Social Security system starting from the fourth day of absence due to illness or non-work-related injury. The amount of the benefit depends on the duration of the leave, with employers often supplementing this to ensure the employee receives their full salary. From 1 September 2026, all official Social Security notifications relating to sick leave (including medical discharge and incapacity determinations) are sent exclusively via the SEDESS electronic portal — no paper letters will be issued. Employees must keep their contact details up to date on SEDESS and report any notifications to HR within 24 hours.

Leave can start several weeks before the expected due date, and can be extended in cases of multiple births, adoption, fostering, or if the child has a disability.
