Absence from work due to illness or injury should not deduct the workers’ days of annual leave.
Employers must provide continuous leave to workers who are ill if they provide a written statement from their doctor. The wage received by the workers should be as the following:
Percentage of wages to be paid Period of absence
100% The first 4 months
75% The second 4 months
50% The third 4 months
25% Subsequent months
Female workers are entitled to paid leave on the 1st and 2nd days of menstruation, if they are ill and they cannot perform their work.
