NZ: We’re legally entitled to 10 days paid sick leave. If you’re out for less than 3 consecutive days you can be asked for a medical certificate but your employer must pay for it. Even then I’ve never been asked for a medical cert.
this is an American problem I’m guessing
ETA: We’ve also got huge brain drain problems thanks to the 3 ring circus govt atm. So we could use a little immigration

Aussie here, paid sick leave but i’ve had employers ask for a certificate
I’ve never given them one. I’m a fucking adult you’re employing
Exactly right. This isn’t elementary school. I’d hand them an obvious forgery signed “Barney Piccolo’s Mother.”
Sorry but still not good enough. I don’t plan out when I am going to be sick in the coming year or how many days it’ll take me.
At that point ACC would kick in. I think it’s up to 80% of your pre illness income, and there are probably other benefits I don’t know about
Meanwhile, I got written up for using more than 4 days in a year
After 15 days, the government has to pay instead, so long as you can prove you are sick.
If you are un(lucky), you can basically be on permanent sick leave here.
