Changes to Sick Leave Regulations in the Public Sector
February 10, 2025
Proposed changes to sick leave regulations in the public sector will reduce the annual sick leave from 42 to 28 days. Unions are expressing strong objections and are calling for consultations, despite the government's assurance that the changes are justified. The new model encourages responsible use of sick leave and has already been approved by the Cabinet. However, there are concerns regarding the protection of employees' rights.
