Work - Sick Leave

Question

Hi! I work individually with girls at school. Last month, I was absent for 3 days and didn't manage to bring a sick leave note (and now it's no longer possible to provide one). This month, I was absent again for 3 days - the question is whether I can report that I was present to recover the days I missed last month? Thank you in advance.

Answer

Shalom u'vracha 

It is permitted. Provided that last month you were in a condition that justified sick leave, and the days you compensate for do not exceed the amount you would have received for the sick days.
