Won’t happen here either. If you are sick, your employer has to pay your regular salary for six weeks. After that, your health insurance pays Krankengeld (usually 70% of your gross salary) for up to 72 more weeks. After that, unemployment insurance covers you.
Employer only pays first week or two here, after that it’s the government till you hit 6 months. Companies would go bankrupt left and right if they had to pay 6 weeks lol. My ex takes the maximum sick leave she can while still getting paid, about half a year of sick leave every year. Essentially, she gets a job, works for a week or 2, then breaks a wrist on purpose or gets a migraine. But it’s not always the whole six months straight, sometimes it’s a month and then she works for another week. That would reset the employer’s duty to pay her sick leave and puts the company in an awkward position if it’s a smaller one.
Edit: Maybe I missed a really obvious point somewhere lol.

I’m part time, but if I don’t miss any hours at all the entire year, I “earn” 19 hours of “vacation time” / PTO. There is no “sick time”. 😂 Basically a week off per year if I blew it all at once and didn’t want to make up the hours somewhere else. The pro strat is just “don’t get sick” I guess /s.
I have a set amount of sick days too unfortunately.
180 days in a year. After that the government says tough luck, work or starve.

Half the year in sick days? Is this satire?
