Artikel 5.11 Legal Status (Local Employees) Regulations 2020

Article 5.11 Continuation of salary payment in the event of sickness 1 Employees who are not fit to perform their duties due to sickness receive their full salary or a percentage of their salary, in accordance with local regulations or local usage, for a given period, with effect from the first day on which they are unfit to perform their duties. 2 The mission version specifies whether sick employees receive their full salary or a percentage of their salary and for how long. 3 If an employee does not work the same number of hours each week, the salary for the purpose of paragraph 1 is considered to be the average salary the employee earned over the thirteen calendar weeks immediately before becoming unfit to work due to sickness. 4 For the purpose of determining the period referred to in paragraph 1, periods of unfitness for work due to sickness will be added together if they succeed one another at intervals of less than 31 days. 5 Employees who during their sickness are able to perform their duties in part or to perform other available and suitable duties wholly or in part receive their full salary for the number of hours that they perform or offer to perform those duties. 6 The provisions to which an employee is entitled due to sickness pursuant to the applicable social security system are deducted from the entitlement referred to in paragraph 1.
