Have you checked your national insurance conditions? In Austria this also isn't in any employment contract because it's ratified in the national health insurance agreement everyone working here must have, which limits everyone to 90 days sick leave but many people don't know this and think they have "unlimited" sick leave. IIRC, Poland and Germany also have 90 days of sick leave by law.
Maybe you're not fully aware of it but I'd assume your national health insurance will specify a similar threshold by law that's obviously not in your employment contract.
- louwrentius 5y agoForget about the 90 days, it doesn’t apply to NL. https://dutchreview.com/expat/sick-leave-netherlands/ https://dutchreview.com/expat/sick-leave-netherlands/ The two years I mentioned are right.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoThat's pretty good. I guess Austria just wants to be employer heaven.
- ChuckNorris89 5y agoFrom the link you posted, I find this baffling that this is allowed in Europe. >Some Dutch workplaces include “no-pay waiting days” (loonvrije wachtdagen) — these are the first one or two days of your sickness where the employer is not obliged to pay wages.
