- aequitas 7y agoHere in the Netherlands the balance of this is quickly tipping the wrong way. For certains low end job types (cleaning, delivery, etc) people no longer get permanent contracts because of the risk for the employer. Instead people work using a sort of pseudo-freelance construction. Having all the risk but having non of the freedom/benefits. New laws to protect these pseudo-freelancers, like manditory insurance or Wet DBA (to determine how much of a real freelancer you are) go against the will of true freelancers and thus are hard to implement as well.
- astura 7y agoMany US companies provide white collar employees short term disability insurance for medical leave. You'd need an actual medical diagnosis though, "burnout" isn't one. You'd probably also need to be going to some sort of regular treatment during your leave for a doctor to sign off on a disability claim.
