Sick Leave Policies

Sick leave policies are rules set by employers that outline how employees can take time off work when they’re unwell. Typically, these policies specify how many days can be taken, whether the time off is paid or unpaid, and the process for notifying the employer. Some companies offer a set number of sick days per year, while others may allow employees to use a portion of their annual leave. The goal is to support employees’ health while ensuring business operations run smoothly. Understanding these policies helps employees manage their health needs and workplace responsibilities effectively.
