If the employee uses up all his available sick leave at the beginning of the cycle, or during a cycle, then he has no more sick leave available for the balance of those 36 months – and therefore any further requirement will be taken as unpaid leave.Įmployers are not advised to allow more than the statutory 30 or 36 days sick leave. It is 30 days (or 36 days) in every three year cycle. The employee can use those sick leave days at any time required over the next 2,5 years, or if it is the second cycle, over the next 3 years.Įmployers must note that the sick leave is not 10 days per year, or 12 days per year, or 0, 83 days per month.
#Sick leave full
On the first working day of month number 7, the balance of the full entitlement kicks in and is available to the employee. Any sick leave days taken during the first six months of employment is deducted from the full 36 months entitlement. If he works a six day week, then his entitlement is 36 days on full pay.ĭuring the first 6 months of employment, the employee is entitled to only 1 day paid sick leave in every 26 days worked. Therefore, if the employee works a five-day week, then his sick leave entitlement in every 36 months cycle is 30 days on full pay. During every 36 months cycle, commencing from the first day of employment, the employee is entitled to be given paid sick leave equal to the number of days he normally works in a six-week period. Sections 22 (1) through 22 (4) are reasonably clear.
