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
✔ Already seen a doctor? Enter the exact sick leave period and confirm the retrieval of your electronic certificate of incapacity for work (eAU) or upload your classic paper-based certificate (AUB).
✔ Not seen a doctor yet? Report sick anyway. However, you must see a doctor on the same day, adjust the time period in the app accordingly, and submit your eAU/AUB.
✔ 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
✔ 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.
