How many sick leave does your workplace give?

[Mimi]

It is impossible for you to eliminate human beings being sick during the year which is the reason why giving sick leave is something that is paramount in any working environment.

If you are currently employed in any business establishment, what are the options of sick leave that your workplace make available to their workers?

Sick leave is mostly for pregnant women, those that had major injury and those that are very sick which means that they are given bed rest in the hospital.

Some employers in my country believe that you are strong enough when you agreed to start work for them and there's nothing that will make them give you sick leave so far you are still walking and coming to work. Even if you like, complain and shout to them that you are sick, nobody is looking at you at all.

I've never taken sick leave at work. It's only vacation that I'm able to get once in a year. I can get up to 2 months off in a year. I have the right to choose the months of the year I will take off.

I've only applied for sick leave only once this year and it simply because the sickness was so bad that I cannot be able to manage it at work. I don't usually like going on sick leave unless I want to apply for my vacation.
