This video unpacks, with examples, common mistakes and practical considerations about paid sick leave as it is detailed in Section 22 & 23 (and a mention of Section 24) in the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
This video starts by explaining how sick leave works in the first 6 months of employment. Covering the common mistake of calculating sick leave per hour and not per day, and not implementing the sick leave cycle from the start of employment. I discuss in detail how the sick leave cycle works (and how it differs from other leave cycles). Then I move on to the full sick leave entitlement and how that is calculated. I provide some practical examples of how to calculate sick leave.
I discuss the lesser known sick leave agreement (Section 22(6)) where Employers and Employees can agree to extend the sick leave entitlement, with a reduction in payment.
Once sick leave is sufficiently covered I move on to Section 23 (Proof of incapacity) and here I provide a detailed explanation of what Employers and Employees need to know about medical certificates and what constitutes a valid and acceptable medical certificate. I briefly mention Section 24 (referring to COIDA) and then I end of the video with a practical discussion on dealing with fraudulent medical certificates (altered medical certificates and certificates from unregistered doctors).
