Limitations on right to sick pay. • If an employee is receiving an annuity instead of sickness benefit owing to an occupational injury and this is during a period when he/she is entitled to sick pay, the sick pay from the employer shall comprise the difference between 85% of the monthly salary and the annuity. • If the employee receives compensation from the State, from insurance for which the employer has paid the premium or from a third party who caused the injury, the employer may decide to reduce the sick pay entirely or in part in order to avoid over-compensation in relation to the sick pay levels provided for in this agreement. However, this shall not apply to compensation from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. • If the employee has been entirely or partly excluded from health insurance benefits under the Swedish Social Insurance Code, sick pay shall be reduced to a corresponding extent. • If the employee has been injured following an accident in the course of gainful employment with another employer, or in conjunction with his/her own business, or the injury is self-inflicted, the employer shall only pay sick pay as of the 15th calendar day if the employer has specifically undertaken to do so.
