When you take a sick leave, the first thing that comes to mind is, "Will my salary and retirement benefits be affected?" Sick leave is not a statutory paid vacation under the Labor Standards Act, so it's generally unpaid. However, if there is a paid sick leave provision in your employment rules or collective bargaining agreement, that is the legal standard. Also, your sick leave period counts towards your length of service, and unpaid sick leave does not reduce your severance pay because it is excluded from the average wage calculation. In the end, the answer starts with knowing exactly what your company's employment rules are. #sick leave #unpaid #severance pay #workplace common sense #labor law
