March 2008 Sick leave or sickness pay or sick pay is an employee benefit in the form of paid leave which can be taken during periods of sickness, to attend doctor visits, or to care for family members. Contents 1 How it works 2 The Need for Paid Sick Days 3 Provisions in Different Countries 4 See also 5 External links 6 References How it works Paid sick leave has multiple uses, but most commonly, it allows workers to stay home when they are sick without losing needed pay. Employers also may allow paid sick days to be used to care for family members, to receive regular preventive checkups from the doctor, or to allow victims of domestic violence to address their health and safety needs. This policy contributes to longterm health, workplace productivity1 and minimizes the spread of illness' and the flu in public places.2. Generally, under sick leave provisions, an employee is entitled to certain number of days a year as paid leave for health-related issues or they may accrue hours of sick leave according to the number of hours worked. Some policies are pro-rated for part-time employees. Under some sick leave provisions, employees can accumulate leave from year to year. Sick leave provisions vary by country, state and even industry. Many high-income economies require employers to provide paid sick days upwards of 10 days, including: the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and Singapore.3 The United States has no federal requirements to allow for the sickness and health of its workforce. The Need for Paid Sick Days Not taking time off during illness can exacerbate the problems and extend the recovery time.4 More women are participating in the workforce, which means more households with two working parents and a greater need for paid sick days. For example, seventy percent of mothers with children under 18 are in the workforce.5 In addition, about one-quarter of women don't seek needed medical care because of difficulties finding time or taking time off work.6 Children often need someone to stay home from work to take care of them. The National School Nurses Association recommends parents keep their sick children home from school until they have been without fever for 24 hours to prevent spreading illness to others. Children get sick 2-3 times more often than adults and spread the flu easily. 7 Provisions in Different Countries Australia Sick leave has its origins in trade union campaigns for its inclusion in industrial agreements. In Australia, it was introduced into industrial awards in 1922 1 Under the Federal Governments industrial relations legislation WorkChoices eligible employees are entitled to: ten days of paid personal/carer's leave per year including sick leave and carer's leave; two days of unpaid carer's leave per occasion; and two days of paid compassionate leave per occasion.

Up to ten days of paid personal/carer's leave in any given year can be used as carer's leave and personal/carer's leave is cumulative8 United Kingdom The Department for Work and Pensions DWP specifies that all employees who are sick for a period longer than 4 consecutive days but less than 28 days are eligible to Statutory Sick Pay SSP paid by their employer9.
