Question
I went to work even though I wasn't feeling well because I thought I could manage to work, and indeed I did, but not at optimal productivity, and I also left work early because I wasn't feeling well. Now I want to take sick leave. The policy at our workplace is that the first day is at the employee's expense, and from the second day, it is deducted from sick hours at the employer's expense. The question is, can I count the workday during my illness as the first sick day and distribute its work hours among other days of the month? Is this allowed?
Answer
Hello,
There is no permission to report in this manner, except with the approval of the person responsible for payroll at your workplace.
