We have roughly the same regulations in Germany, in my personal experience people do not take advantage by prentending to be sick in any meaningful quantity.
I mean there surely are people out there pushing it to the limit but it's not a problem in general.
As for your point about really getting sick by the end of the year, as long as you have a doctor's note saying you are sick, you can stay at home, no matter how long or often you've been sick before that year. I guess it works similarly in Norway.
- WealthVsSurvive 6y agoUSA workers pretend to be sick in order to: A) Take any time off at all because they do not receive sick or vacation time. B) Take time off because they do not have enough sick or vacation days and require rest from illness or work, but do not have realistic time in which to do either. This brings about the perception that US workers will "use extra days," when in reality they simply do not have enough to begin with.
