Description

This report provides a detailed summary of paid-sick-day and paid-sick-leave policies in 22 countries that have a high level of human development, according to the United Nations’ HumanDevelopment Index (HDI). All 22 countries are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and most are members of the European Union (EU). For each country, this paper examines relevant national legislation in three areas: short-term paid sick days available to a worker with a short-term illness; other paid sick leave that can be accessed
when workers are sick for a longer period; and, finally, additional paid time off tied to illness that a worker may use to care for a sick child or other family member.
