paid sick leave

Paid sick leave is a benefit that allows employees to take time off from work due to illness, injury, or health-related issues without losing their income. It provides financial protection during times when they are unable to work, promoting health and recovery. Employers typically allocate a certain number of paid sick days per year, which employees can use as needed. This benefit helps balance work responsibilities with maintaining good health and reduces the financial stress that can come from unexpected health problems. It’s a standard component of many employment agreements to support overall well-being.
