@euronews.tv: Germany's ruling coalition is scrapping the right to call in sick without a doctor's note, Chancellor Friedrich Merz announces as part of a package of sweeping reforms to revive the economy.
Hot take: If GPs didn't have to spend so much time giving sick leaves, they would have more time to help the chronically sick

My office has this rule and even when I want just 1 day off, I am usually given 2-3 days off and they don’t accept digital call ones, so I always have to go in person. My hausarzt was like you would get extra sick if you come for basic stuff on day 1. I used to be like I can’t do anything about it. Now with this, it’s gonna be worrrseeeeee

Wait, what? In Hungary it's the default. You have to bring paper from the doctor otherwise unpaid leave.

In the UK, you don't need a sick note until 1 week. If your company wants it, you can complete a self referral form or they, the company, has to pay for your certificate to be issued from the NHS. If your sickness is too frequent or too long, that's a discussion for HR to determine whether there are ways to give you better accessibility to your job, or whether you're medically unfit to do the job.
