New rules from August 1, 2025, reduce sick leave pay, potentially leading employees to work while ill. The calculation for sick leave pay now offers lower percentages for shorter absences, incentivizing quicker returns to work despite health concerns. This change aims to curb perceived fraud in the system. Previously, sick leave was compensated at 75% from the first day. Now, it starts at 55% for up to seven days, increasing gradually with longer durations.
