    I still find it crazy its a “request for leave” which they can deny rather than “im not coming in today, I need to go to the hospital”

        „I am not coming in until at least the xx.xx.xxxx as I am still sick.“

        There you go. That’s how it works here. The employer can then collect the doctors confirmation online.

        After six weeks it requires a bit more effort, as the employer no longer needs to pay wages and you need to apply for sick pay from the insurance, which is 70% for up to a year and a half.

        The very thought of an employer not allowing you to be sick is just ridiculous.
