Is sick leave paid or not?

After the end of maternity leave andchildbirth, the mother is given the opportunity to look after the baby for three years. During this time, her job is kept for her. The cash payment will be small - only 40% of the average salary and only until the child is one and a half years old. After reaching this age, they will pay 50 rubles per month. Days spent on sick leave, the duration of the vacation will not be increased, no additional money will be paid for them. Compensation and disability benefits are not issued for the same period.sick leave on parental leaveSick leave during maternity leave is not allowedis being issuedPhoto: Getty The following situation may arise: a mother falls ill a few days before returning to work. Here it will be important when the sick leave certificate is opened. For example, you have to go to work on December 21, the employee fell ill on December 18. In this case, it would be correct to open a sick leave certificate not on the 18th, but on the 21st. A document in which the date of the onset of the illness is December 18th will be erroneous. The accounting department will not accept and will not pay for an incorrectly completed certificate. The Social Insurance Fund will recognize it as invalid and refuse to credit the benefit. Doctors know how to issue sick leave certificates, but they may not know that the patient is still on vacation. They should be warned about this to avoid misunderstandings.

When a hospital can be paid for

There are cases when a mother is paid sick leave benefits:

  • Work at home. The law does not prohibit a woman from taking care of a child and at the same time working. In this case, all the rights of the worker are subject to it. At home, a sick leave sheet is issued on general grounds.
  • Work on a part-time schedule. Just like in the first case, the mother can go to the sick leave if she or the child falls ill.

In addition, a sick leave certificate can be obtained ifinterrupt the vacation. Until the child is three years old, the parent has the right to interrupt and resume the vacation, using it not in full, but in parts. The number of such parts is not limited. Every employee has the right to temporary disability benefits. During maternity leave, the mother can work from home or on a reduced schedule, which means she can count on sick leave. If you happen to fall ill the day before going to work, you need to make sure that the documents are completed correctly.
