@cnn: Germany's government plans to tighten sick leave rules as part of a broader economic reform to boost productivity and competitiveness. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasizes urgency due to weak economic growth, high energy prices, and rising global competition, especially from China.

What kind of receipts do they want? If I have diarrhea do they want me to send a picture of it?

Germany’s average worker is off sick 14.8 days a year. Employees in the federal authorities average 21.1 days, with the Bundesrat at 25.2 days. Maybe the government should fix its own attendance record first.

I never understood the concept of doctor's notes just for being sick. like I know im sick, I feel the symptoms, any other human that has had said sickness can confirm that those symptoms mean that im sick. why do I need to drive my sick self to the doctor just for them to tell me something I already know

I feel like 2-3 sick days a month seems pretty normal, esp considering they usually cover routine visits as well

That’s crazy to make people get a Dr note for 1 day! You spend the whole day waiting to see Dr so now it will be min 2 days.

You can’t get a note over the phone, but you also can’t get an appointment for months… make it make sense. And so you go to work and get everyone else sick all the while you’re not being productive either. This is such a bad idea.

This is a bad law. It’s going to put more strain on healthcare. Also not really fair to people with chronic illnesses
