Simply get a note right before you get sick. All you need is a crystal ball.

I needed to start planning better anyway. Last year I didn’t even take all my sick days

Oh, cause u get allocate sick days? So you can't be sick more that x days? How silly is that? Why not just increase your leave days?

Smoke and mirrors, my nation did similar but this is just pretense of dealing with system abuse. Remarkable how it's always the working class that's abusing the system and needs regulated.

Big L for Germany. Some US states don't even require notes anymore. It doesn't make sense, because if you're that sick, should you really be traveling to a doctor's office anyway? Plus, it's not like the doctor can do anything for you if it's viral anyway. You're just wasting your time and the doctor's.

So stupid to burden healthcare even more. I'm glad we don't have such a system but here in the Netherlands doctors are so fully booked they'd probably tell you you can show up in 2 weeks.
