Section Name

Article 82
Starting Date: 02/01/2005

The Worker shall be entitled to sick leave with pay for each year of his service. This sick leave shall not be granted unless after the expiry of three months from the date of commencement of his work for the first time, provided that the Worker proves his sickness by a medical report issued by the competent physician approved by the Employer.

The Worker shall receive his full Remuneration if the period of the sick leave did not exceed two weeks. If the sick leave extends thereafter the Worker shall be paid half of his Remuneration for other four weeks. The extension of the sick leave thereafter shall be without Remuneration until the Worker resumes his Work or resigns or his service is terminated for health reasons.

The service of the Worker may be terminated at the end of the twelfth weeks of the sick leave if it has been proved by a report issued by the Licensed Physician that the Worker is unable to resume his Work at that time.

If the Worker resigned by reason of sickness, and with the approval of the Licensed Physician, before the end of the six weeks to which the Worker is entitled as sick leave with pay, the Employer shall pay to him the balance of his entitlements. This provision shall also apply in the event of death by reason of sickness before the end of the aforesaid six weeks.

The previous provisions shall not prejudice the right of the Worker in his entitlements to an end of service gratuity. The sick leave for the twelve-week period taken by the Worker shall not be deemed to constitute an interruption of his Continuous Service.
