The continued payment of wages in the event of illness is available for calculation when an employee reports unfit for work.
No employee can avoid incapacity for work permanently, even if many employers may wish to do so. However, employees are legally covered by continued payment of wages in case of illness for a certain period of time. The calculation however, often causes confusion .
The following is an overview of the most important factors to be considered when calculating the continued payment of remuneration. In order for there to be any calculation at all with regard to continued payment of wages in the event of illness, first of all there is a claim . Also discussed in this guidebook.
Compact knowledge: Calculation of continued payment of wages in the event of illness
Entitlement to continued payment of wages is for 42 days (6 weeks). If the inability to work lasts even longer, you will subsequently receive sick pay.
The continued payment is only made for the days on which the employee would normally have worked, had he not been incapacitated for work.
As a rule, you are entitled to the full pay that you would normally receive. You can find more information here.

The right to continued payment of wages
As already mentioned, the calculation of the continued payment of wages is only meaningful if there is also an entitlement to it. The most important Basic requirement for this is the inability of an employee to work. However, an entitlement does not arise simply because an employee falls ill.
In order for the continued payment of wages in the event of illness to be calculated, employees must also have a fulfill their obligation to report . So they are obliged to inform the employer immediately that they are unable to work. For this purpose, they must submit a medical certificate of incapacity for work submit.
The employment contract usually specifies by when a certificate must be available in the company. If an employee violates applicable clauses, it may well happen that there is no continued payment of wages . A calculation does not take place then of course. In addition, the following points should be noted:
– The calculation of the reimbursement by continued payment of wages in the event of illness is made exclusively for the days on which you would have worked if you had not fallen ill . – If a lawful shift in working hours is scheduled for one or more days, for example due to short-time work or a plant shutdown, the continued payment of wages does not apply for this period. – With regard to continued payment of wages in the event of illness, calculation is still not necessary if a Employment relationship rests according to agreement or if the person concerned is on parental leave. Even then there is no claim.
This is how the calculation of continued payment of wages works
For continued payment of wages in a mini-job, the calculation is the same as for full-time jobs.
If it concerns the computation average salary often decisive for the continued payment of remuneration. Employees who call in sick in accordance with the regulations are generally entitled to 100 percent of their regular salary when the continued payment of wages is calculated.
For 42 days per calendar year employers are then obliged to continue paying valid wages even if the employee is unable to work.
The legal basis for this is the Law on the payment of wages on public holidays and in the event of illness (in short: Continued Payment of Remuneration Act or EntgFG). For example, Section 3(1) EntgFG states:
"If an employee is prevented from working due to incapacity to work as a result of illness, through no fault of his own, he is entitled to continued payment of wages in the event of illness by the employer for the period of incapacity to work up to a duration of six weeks."
In terms of continued payment of wages in the event of illness, the calculation can therefore be quite be very simple . For example, if an employee earns a monthly gross salary of 2.900 euros and sick for a month, he is also entitled to this payment during the period of illness. However, such a simple calculation does not always work. If there is a hourly remuneration before, for example in a Minijob , the hourly wage is to be multiplied by the number of working hours lost.
Sunday and holiday bonuses, which are paid otherwise, are also a part of the continued payment of wages in case of illness. However, the calculation does not include overtime bonuses and remuneration that is paid outside regular working hours – an exception is made if overtime is worked on a permanent basis.
Of course, it is also possible that the same salary is not paid in every month. As already mentioned, the average is decisive. This also applies in these cases. Generally, in the case of different levels of payment, the average earnings are used of the last three months determines. Continued payment of wages in the event of illness. Their calculation from.
The calculation of the continued payment of wages changes six weeks after the start of incapacity for work.
The continued payment of wages also changes when employees are on sick leave for more than six weeks or. 42 days of illness in the calendar year. From the first day of the seventh week, employers no longer pay themselves. Then receive concerned sick pay over their health insurance company . However, this no longer corresponds to the full average salary. Common here 70 percent of gross earnings , In no case more than 90 percent of the net compensation.
The significance of the question of fault
In addition to the factors already mentioned, there is another that can affect the entitlement to continued payment of wages: your own Culpability for incapacity for work . This does not mean guilt in the sense of negligence or intent, but gross negligence against one's own person.
So if an employee demonstrably violates grossly against expected behavior , which serves his own health, there is a self-inflicted incapacity for work for which no continued payment of wages is provided for. An employee who intentionally spends a lot of private time with colleagues who are on sick leave with a cold can be accused of this. Also traffic accidents under the influence of alcohol can lead to grossly self-inflicted injuries.
With regard to continued payment of wages in case of illness, the calculation resp. the claim is also definitely in danger, if it to private sports accidents comes. In this regard, there have been repeated disputes before labor courts in the past, as the employers concerned have opposed continued payment of wages. However, the competent judges decide in such cases not seldom for the employees .
In some cases, however, the case law shows inconsistent, such as injuries caused by Kickboxing arise. an employee injured as a result of the Labor Court Hagen (Az. 4 Ca 648/87) the right to continued payment of wages was denied. The judge ruled that there was great fault against oneself.

Hello, my 42 days of continued pay (am still on sick leave) ends for my mini-job over 450 € / month with the 09.09.2018. Up to 29.07. I work 3 days / week. Which wage continuation payment is entitled to me for the month September: Alternative 1: After proportionate working days = 3/12 from 450 € = 112.50 € or alternative 2: 450 € x 9/30 = 135 € ? Thank you and kind regards
Since after the continued payment of wages, the health insurance company usually steps in and pays sick pay, and this is also only possible for permanently employed persons, you should discuss this with your health insurance company.
What is the right in case of mental illness and mobbing or even burn out, how long do I have the right to be sick because I got sick with a very bad boss!
basically the decision how long you should be on sick leave is up to your doctor – also in case of mental illnesses. You can discuss your questions with this.
so I have the 1.5 years fully exhausted, it depends on your doc, but with psychological things you can already do something like that and also happens more often, but vorsichht the health insurance company will try to stop the sick pay, against it you have to defend them
Dear Sir or Madam, my employee has been on sick leave since 10. 09. 18 sick written. A continued payment of wages has up to 20. 10. to be made. What is the calculation of wage tax for this period? For the month of October, 15 days of wages are payable. Is the wage tax calculated proportionally from 23 days as 15×1/12th related to the entire October gross earnings? Is the daily wage tax table used for the calculation or do I base the monthly wage earned on 15 working days on the monthly table? It would be very helpful if you could give me some relevant information. Thank you very much for an early answer with kind regards Sylke K.
please contact a tax advisor with your request.
the following facts: I was taken sick on 30.08.2018 until 09.09.Sick leave in 2018 due to a heel injury. From the 10.09.2018 my family doctor has me because of depression until 22.10.2018 sick leave. In total I was on sick leave for almost 8 weeks. Now in October my salary was reduced with the reference to sick pay. Is the employer in the right? I have amed that if I am sick because of a new illness, then the 6 weeks of continued payment of wages count from the beginning. Thank you very much and best regards
as a rule it should be as you describe it.
And what to do in such a case? Evtl. Legal action ?
Dear Sir or Madam, my husband is a pensioner of statutory retirement age. he still works full time and therefore pays health insurance contributions at a reduced rate for this work. Now he is after an operation longer than 6 weeks sick, but has lt. health insurance company does not entitle to sickness benefit from the 7. Week. How can this be? The health insurance company "collects" 2x contributions from him after all. 1x as a pensioner and 1x as a working pensioner. The employment relationship will be continued after recovery. Yours sincerely E.U.
we cannot tell you why there is no entitlement to sick pay. If your health insurance company does not provide you with information on this matter, it may be advisable to seek advice from a lawyer.
Dear Ms. U.,
the health insurance of pensioners works with a reduced contribution rate, because pensioners are generally not entitled to sick pay.
This results from the suspension of the entitlement to benefits due to the receipt of statutory pension.
The purpose of sick pay is to cushion social hardship due to the loss of pay.
The legal pension is drawn in each case with entrance of the pension age. Regardless of whether something is earned in addition or not. For pensioners in the employment relationship the health insurance obligation was introduced, in order to protect the employee, who is not a pensioner.
This is a way to counter the employer's motivation to employ above all pensioners because of their much lower costs, thus leaving younger employees out in the cold. Because thus health insurance contributions are to be paid in each case on the part of the employer. At the end of the day it is about equal opportunities. Fairness to the non-pensioners on the labor market.
I have a mini-job and work only on Saturdays. However, the working week is 6 days. Is it correct that I have to divide the sick leave for a Saturday by 6 and thus only get 1.33 hours credited or would the employer have to credit me the 8 hours that I always work on Saturdays? ?
an AU is valid for the day for which it is ied, regardless of how many hours the employee would normally have worked on that day.
Hello Have on 01.10. Took a full time job and work true. On 2.10 I have fallen ill and have reported sick on 13. Got the dismissal. Hourly wage true 17.01€ I also submitted the sickness certificate in time for these 13 days. Now I have for the time paid out by the employer only about 52 € Is that okay so ? Thank you
If an employee falls ill during the first four weeks of employment, the employer does not have to pay him for these sick days. Instead, he receives sick pay for these days from the health insurance company. Whether your remaining salary was calculated correctly can be checked by a lawyer.
Hello, will be deducted from the continued pay / sickness social security benefits. Or how are 100% to be understood.

Hello, I have been looking for work and have been on 18.09. receive a new employment contract. Now I was unfortunately from 12.09. until 22.09. sick leave. My new employer does not pay me any salary, because I am not entitled in the first 4 weeks yet. My health insurance now tells me that I also do not get any money / continued payment of wages from it, since I was not fit for work (despite a valid employment contract). Is this legal?
usually the KV steps in during the first four weeks if there is a case of sickness right at the start of work. Consult a lawyer if you want your situation assessed accurately.

Unfortunately, I have fallen ill and have a sick note dated, 03.12.-07.12.2018. My next services are again on 06.12. and 07.12.2018.

Thank you for your processing and message. Renate
contact the pension insurance company to find out how to compensate the time before entitlement to continued payment of wages by the employer.
Hello, can it be that 7 days are deducted per week for a case of illness, although I have a 5-day week?
as a rule, no days are deducted if a case of illness has occurred. The working days agreed in the employment contract can be used for the continued payment of wages.
After a sick leave / depression of 6 weeks I am trying to return to work . If I am sick again after 1 or 2 days because of depression, the continued payment of wages for 6 weeks starts again and I get money from the employer again or does the health insurance pay ?

Dear team! In my circle of acquaintances there was a discussion about when or in which year the continued payment of wages was introduced in Austria? Thank you for your answer! Ewald
Hello, I was on sick leave from 17.12.2018-21.12.2018 sick leave From 22.12.-26.12.2018 I was healthy again. However, since I was off sick on 26.12. I have suffered a relapse, the doctor has put me on sick leave again up to and including today 11.01.2019 sick leave. However, I am afraid that I will be written off sick again on Monday as the illness is far from being cured.
How is the sick pay calculated now? Are the days of interruption calculated through? The days on which I was not on sick leave were the Christmas holidays on which I did not have to work anyway.
the days of interruption are usually not calculated. Note, however, that the days you are on sick leave for the same illness are added together when it comes to continued pay (six weeks).
How does it behave in the case of rehabilitation / cure measures in the calculation of the wage continuation entitlement ? Do these weeks/days count towards the total entitlement and the 6,- and 12 month periods ? Thank you.
Hello I work as a security service 6 days a week a12 hour. But when I am on sick leave my employer counts only 8 hours is that right?? Or must he pay full 12 hours? And there are also days that I am also on hours plan. Would you help me very much if I get an answer from you Kind regards
Hi Banakhojasteh, normally an employee is entitled to the same wages during a period of incapacity for work due to illness as they would normally receive if they were healthy. A worse position may not take place therefore as a rule. What is the legal situation in your case, you can ask a lawyer. We do not provide legal advice.
Hello, I work from Monday to Friday in a day care center. May weekend days be counted as sick days if you were only absent Friday and return to work Monday? I have 42 days of absence, where some weekend days were added to it. Is this allowed? With kind regards Natalie
Dear team. I have been in public service for 24 years. 62 years old. Now I am often addressed I would like to go to pension or REHA make. So I think they want to have me away in the nice way. Since after so long service u. A severely disabled degree v. 50 can not give me notice. I will retire in 2021 which is still too long. Can you take sick leave for so long m. Salary continuation. Please give me a short info. Thanks
Dear team, my question is quite complex. I was fired on 21.1. 2019 operated on the shoulder. Was then not fit for work. My employer is located in Ireland, but since a few weeks now the German legislation applies to me and my Kollegn. So far this was not so. I have been with the company for 12 years. I was previously a professional soldier with a special age limit, so I get a pension, receive benefits and for the rest of the health costs I have a private health insurance. I have been able to return to work for a few days and have already been on duty. I was sick a total of 64 days. My employer has now remitted only a fraction of my salary for March. 8 days of the month of March I was still healthy or within the 42 days. I have to see if this radical pay cut was okay. But mainly I am interested if I can get something back from the private health insurance company. Sincerely, Holger
I work on a marginal basis (MO to FR) get a fixed hourly wage, but have every month different number of hours and was from 01.03. up to 16.03. sick.
How can I now calculate how much continued pay I get for the 11 days??
Hello all , I have been working since 25.08.2018 in a full-time, hourly job … my average salary is about. 1100 – 1200€ net now I was from 01.03.2019 – 22.03.2019 sick , have also given notice directly and submitted the sick note& have now received only just under 950€ … have I now received too little or is this legal. Thanks in advance
there is no fixed salary, so you are paid only for work done. If you have worked less because of illness, the employer is entitled to pay less salary.
You have received this 950,- from the AG, so you 1. Sick leave!? Do you now have a full time job, that is one with z.b. 40 hrs. (normal working time) or do you only work on an "hourly basis"? Both is not possible. It must be agreed whether you have a full-time job or part-time job (payslip or employment contract). You would actually also have to have a "working hours" agreed in the employment contract / service slip. Then it depends of course as with all AV also on the KV! Everything is normally recorded there. The ML in sick leave is calculated as follows, (in case of irregular income) average hours of hours worked in the last 13 weeks or 3 months are used for the calculation! Or according to duty roster, which would have to be prepared in advance for August (14 days before). Then you get from the AG the working time paid, which you get if you worked "would have". I think the accounting is CORRECT! On 01.04.19 I started an AV. Was already paid on 10.04. 04.19 I started an AV. Was already paid on 10.04. 19 I started an AV. Was already paid on 10.04.04. I wrote an AU, which lasted until 30.04. to. Since the AG in the first 4 weeks is exempt from continued payment of wages, it must also only from 01.-09.04.19 and 29. and 30.04. pay the regular average salary (plus agreed tax-free supplements?). Now it is so that the AG for this period in the payroll, the 4 days off (5-day week) according to the roster, again as minus hours from the calculated gross salary of the 11 days deducted. This is not correct, or? I get a gross salary, and am not paid by hours (AV). Thank you already for the coming answer! VG FH
Hi Frank, please note that we do not provide legal advice and therefore do not make legal assessments of individual circumstances. You can consult a lawyer about this.
I ame that you are an "employee", because you write "salary". Nevertheless, the calculation lt. KV and there the "hourly wage" can very well be used. 1 month is a month and an average is calculated (in accounting terms 1 month has 30 days when calculating salary). You get exactly for the days from 1.4. until 9.4. so for exactly 9 days, but for the actually worked days from the AG remuneration (aliquot) paid out, no more and no less. NO, "tax-free supplements" are mostly expense allowances and do NOT have to be paid out. There are also big differences. What actually makes you think that the AG is going to pay the 29. + 30. must also pay? A month is calculated exactly with 4,33 weeks. Or do they get paid once more and once less per month😉 THEN you would be paid by the hour. Sick pay, which must be paid by the KK, is calculated differently. Salaried employees are accounted for in SICK LEAVE with exact KT, blue-collar workers with normally worked AT, if he would not have fallen ill. (default principle) If you have agreed on a FIX salary, which is constant, the calculation for the AG is a simple one. Employee: Salary : 30KT (April) x 9AT That's why I don't understand your quotes, I can't imagine that this is correct as you explain it. Above all, which 11 days are deducted again? For this you would have to see the pay slip. It is also difficult when someone who apparently has absolutely no idea nothing concrete describes. Do you think that their days off (weekends) are also paid for? You write yourself that you have 5 days/week. Today, no payroll accountant dares to account "incorrectly. M.M. according to could be the payroll as you have described very incomprehensible, nevertheless correct. Only he has just made a different, more complicated calculation. In addition, the SV, which controls everything since March 2019 would immediately inform the wage calculator/employer that the payroll is not correct and must then this also immediately be put right. But actually quite simple, you go to the chamber of labor and let it calculate there or explain it in detail by the AG. And also you should be grateful to your AG that you were not immediately dismissed again. Because that is WITHOUT further sanctions or payments within the 1. Month (trial month) for the AG possible. Here, the continued payment of wages does not apply as long as you are on sick leave… But I don't think you are still in employment there anyway, or are you?? Sincerely
May a work time company the worker with hourly wage of 11, – euro in the illness and vacation case on the salary of the minimum wage set back ?
such a procedure is usually not allowed. If a certain hourly wage was agreed in the employment contract, this also applies in the case of sick leave and vacation.
Hello! I was sick from January 2018 to April 2019. Included in this time were the cure, IRENA and other physiotherapies. The sickness benefit was fully exhausted. I have been back at work for three months now. And today it has caught me again. Can not go to work.
Do I have again the right of continued payment of wages from the employer??
now you should again receive the normal continued payment of wages up to six weeks from your employer.

I also have a question about continued payment of wages.
I was since 28.03. continuously on sick leave (the sick leave now ends on 31 December).07.). My gross salary amounts to 3300.00 €, net I have got 2100.00 € per month. How much salary would my employer have had to transfer to me for the period from the sick leave, i.e. for these 6 weeks or for the 6 weeks after the sick leave?. 42 days? In the week I did not have completely regular working hours, the wage was quasi "lump sum" set.
Hello I have a question: I work part-time on 3 days / week. I was recently on sick leave due to a broken leg. The last sick leave, which then also already went into sick pay ended on a Friday. I always work from Tuesday to Thursday. Does it make a difference if I am on sick leave until Friday or Sunday? I am afraid that since the sick pay is paid according to calendar days, that would have been better. So the question is: do I get now for Saturday to Monday no sick pay and also no salary and would I have gotten sick pay if the sick leave would have gone to Sunday orMonday? If so, I can still change something afterwards? (The doctor wanted me to write 2 weeks longer sick anyway, but since I can work from the home office again, I have waived) Thanks for an answer Thanks and greetings
Hello, I recently fell and have been unable to work for 14 days. At the beginning of the second week my boss asked me if I could come anyway, just to help with the precondition that I should only do light work. Since we have employee shortage at present. He I was sorry I went into it.
My colleague had a similar case. Now the colleague told me that instead of the 5 hours she only got paid for the hours she helped at that time. So instead of 5 hours (if she had stayed at home) she got only z.B. 2 hours charged ( she came as I do now to help). Supposedly so quasi under the hand.
The AG meant with the hourly account to her that in the moment where she comes to work the sick leave expires. Is that right? Which hours does the employer have to account for, the official lost time or the indirect help, that is the hours on which you "helped" at work?
I have googled up and down the net, but found nothing on the net about the expiration of a sick leave or the accounting of the hours in such a case. About an answer I would be very happy.
It would have to be clarified beforehand whether this should be an "interruption of sick leave" (not "expiration") or a quasi "private" help. I would not do the latter. If you feel healthy you can work. But then the normal working hours. Then the sick leave is interrupted, the AG pays wages and then lt. Contract. If it does not go on the next day, the sick leave is valid lt. AU certificate again. The working day is not counted for the 6 weeks of LFZ and is paid as normal. If this should not be so, then applies, naturally wage continuation and that for the contractually agreed upon working time. Otherwise you would be punished for your good-natured help !
Hello I work as a pensioner with employment contract 3 times a week a 4 hours, count the days in between when sick, or only the agreed days Thank you
Good morning. I started a new job at the beginning of July. Was sick again after a week because of severe back problems. At the beginning of August I was terminated. It was said that the health insurance continues to pay until the termination date. But now the payment seemed to me a little little and asked for. Then I was told that the cash pay the first 4 weeks (because it was a new job). From the 5 weeks the AG would have to pay again. Yesterday I had a letter from the AG in which the 19 sick days are calculated with the 9,40€. Now the question. How are the sick days calculated? One hour per day. At my previous AG were charged per day 3 hours and 20 minutes. That is why I am surprised. Thank you in advance.
I am employed as a part-time employee in addition to my studies. If I immediately call in sick for a day and submit the sick note from the doctor within three days, how many hours will I be paid for this day?? (regularly I would have worked six hours)
Hello, I work in the furniture trade on commission. Now I am 16 since Monday.03.2020 sick leave. Our business was closed because of the Corona crisis on Wednesday, 18.03.2020 temporarily closed. All other colleagues are paid with short-time allowance 60% /of net. In the past, when I was sick, we got an average compensation from the total annual salary.
Now my question: Do I get now also the short-time allowance or my annual compensation? ?
Hello Och am seot the 03.02.20 sick leave. May the boss.Make 6 weeks on one salary statement or he has to write 2 statements? Greetings Thorsten
I work for over a year and a half on 450 euro basis in a supermarket. In the employment contract are specified 6 hours a week, but effectively I work since the beginning of the employment 12 hours at minimum wage. I always work on Fridays and Saturdays, in addition to my full-time studies.
Now I fell ill from a month and am two weeks by illness failed, a week later I had vacation.
At a look at my account at the end of the month came the shock: My boss paid me only just under 126 euros with the justification, he must pay only the 6 contractually agreed hours. But do not count the actual hours worked in the last months and years?
Thanks in advance!
Hello. My husband changed to 01.04.20 the employer. He was since 24.03.20 sick leave. Start of work after illness was 27.04.20. We know that the health insurance company now continues to pay wages, my question is how much is this?? On the internet it says full salary continuation, what does this mean? I am from the 30.01.20 to 15.03.20. Then again from the 16.03.20 to 17.05.20 been unfit for work.01.20 to 15.03.20 and then again from 16.03.20 to 17.05.20 been unable to work. I receive a basic salary. A turnover-dependent commission. The last 3 months are now used for calculation,d.h. I get in May only my basic salary. I am of the opinion that only the last 3 months of my professional activity before illness can be used for the calculation of the average salary.So the months where I worked full time: Dec.,Nov. and Oct. 2019. Perhaps you can help me further, or there is a judgment to it?
Hello due to corona… quarantine… illness of my son.. And due to a fracture I am sick this year already longer than 43 days, 450 euro job. Since the 21.10 ks due to a fracture.

According to him I am therefore already from 13.11 in sick pay. Krankem cash but calculates only on 2 december the 6 weeks. Now I have hardly got salary only for 9 days in november. Can my boss calculate this only because I was sick more than 43 days over the year??
Dear Sir or Madam,
a colleague of mine was sick for 5 days in december. The employer has not paid you because he thought that she had accumulated too many hours ( We earn our money on Norme and not according to attendance. We do not have a fixed gahalt but only fixed hourly wage) Is the employer allowed to do this? The way the law reads he is not allowed to do this 6 weeks. Are the laws changed during corona? Stay healthy.
Thanks in advance.
Dear team, was in Sept./Oct. 2020 6 weeks sick and then from 07.01. – 31.01.2021 again. For the days in January 2021 I got from the health insurance wage compensation. In February and March 2021, I have residual leave reduced. My salary consists of fixed and commission.
My question: vacation compensation is calculated from the average of the last three months, where 1 month was paid by the health insurance company. Do I have to apply for vacation compensation from the health insurance for the January days, or does the employer have to take this into account as well ?
Thank you in advance for your reply
Hello, I was on sick leave for the whole month of April 2021. According to the contract I have to work 48 hours a week. In April that would be 192 hours. The employer has now not included the Saturdays in the continued payment of wages. He has calculated only 4 weeks a 40 hours. Is he in the right or is he obliged to pay 192 hours?
Hello, I work on 450 euro basis in a cleaning company. We are paid according to the tariff, so hourly wage. ( until the end of April 11,11 Euro ) From the 1.5.2021 the minimum wage in Brandenburg has risen to 13 euros. I have me on 11.4 broken arm and what until 19.5. sick leave. My company has now transferred me the salary for May. Took for it the average wage of the last 12 months. I am of the opinion that I should have received the hourly wage of 13 Euro for the month of May, the average wage is only valid from the 6th hour. Week when the health insurance pays. The weekly working time was reduced by the increase to 7.75 hours.
Dear Sir or Madam. I work for many years in a retirement home. From 18.05.21-5.07.21 I was on sick leave. Enormous back problems, MRI, physio. On 6.07.21-2.08.21 I have worked again. In this time there were discussions with the employer and a superior, in which one insinuated me some things. Info to other u.s.w. I could no longer sleep. Had an enormous restlessness in me. This went so far that I had to throw up before starting work. On 30.08.21 I have quit to the 30.09.21 Because my health condition became worse I went to the doctor. This has me on 3.08.21 sick leave, expected to last until 13.09.21 I got the August invoice on it says: Unterbr. beginning 3.08.21 Reason for interruption: sick pay. I have a full time job. I have received 130 euros. Now my question: Am I not entitled to continued payment of wages? It is not the same disease.
Thank you very much in advance Yours sincerely

Hello dear team, I was from 03.09.21 to 01.10.21 and from 18.10.21 to 05.11 21 due to heart problems and intervention unfit for work. Since 08.11.21 I am on the road again for my employer. I received a one-time payment (without indication for which period) of the health insurance in the amount of 251 euros, I think this is also okay. However, no salary was paid by the employer for November. How can I proceed here?. where is the mistake here?

Good day, it is about the continued payment of wages due to illness. My boss has used the last three incomes as a basis, but has not added to the gross income my paid vacation and another 5 days due to illness. If he is thereby in the right? This means I have 800€ less gross salary!
