German row over plan for workers to need sick note on first day of illness
A row has broken out in Germany after the coalition government announced changes to sick-leave rules, requiring Germans to provide a doctor's note to their employers on the first day of their illness.
Under the current rules, a certificate is only required if a person is unfit for work for more than three days – in other words, on the fourth day, although employers are entitled to request the sick note earlier."The number of sick days in Germany is too high," said Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
