If you are sick, please report your absence immediately to the client company and in the jobvalley app.
Where to find the feature in the App:
- “Work” → “My absences”
Important guidelines for reporting sick
✔ Enter the correct sick leave period and upload your medical certificate / sick leave certificate (AUB)
✔ If the medical certificate is not yet available, please upload it in the app immediately after your doctor’s appointment
✔ Failure to submit an AUB will result in two strikes in the system
You are contractually obliged to provide a certificate of incapacity for work from the first day of illness
✔ The sick leave period can be easily adjusted later when you upload your medical certificate
✔ While on sick leave, you will not be able to book new shifts
When are you entitled to continued payment of your salary in case of illness?
According to §3 of the “Entgeltfortzahlungsgesetz” (Continuation of Remuneration Act), the entitlement to continued payment of salary in the case of illness begins after four weeks of an uninterrupted duration of the employment. During this time, the health insurance company usually pays sick pay. If the incapacity for work then continues beyond the 28th day, the continued payment of salary starts on the 29th day.
Please note, as soon as you have an interruption of more than 3 calendar weeks between your work contracts, the counting starts from the beginning.
How is your entitlement calculated per sick day?
Similar to the calculation of vacation, the calculation of the amount of remuneration to be paid is based on your average work salary for the last three or two months or the last month before the start of the incapacity for work.
This gross income is again divided by the number of average working days in the year for the last three / two months or the last month.
