Short absence. An employee is allowed to take a short absence from work for essential medical attention (that is, an absence of less than one day) without the need to produce satisfactory evidence. An employee shall be allowed up to four separate short absences totalling no more than 2 days (i.e. 15.2 hours for full-time employees) in any one service year without the need to produce satisfactory evidence; or
Short absence. If the employee has had no absence in the 6 months prior to the day he or she calls in sick, no waiting days will be applied. If the employee has been absent in the 6 months prior to the day he or she calls in sick, the day the employee calls in sick and the first following calendar day the employee has no right to salary - thus applying two waiting days. During 4 weeks from the notification of absence (with the exception of any waiting days), the employee will receive 70% of the salary and at least the minimum wage.
