I think it's related to how sick days are paid in Europe. In Poland, I get paid 80% of my salary on sick days, as such, to avoid abuse you need to go to the doctor to get it verified. My understanding is that in the US it's much easier to get a sick leave, but you don't get paid for its duration.
- frockington1 7y agoIn US, most office employees get a set number of sick days year, get paid in full and all that is need is a text or email. I think I get 12, it's never an issue so I may have accrued more by now.

- bildung 7y agoExactly. At least in Germany sick days (for the first weeks) are paid for by the health insurance companies, which need a means to know this is a particular case for a payout, hence the need for the note.
