FragarachUK here, but I'd go down to half pay after 6 months off sick, then Occupational Health assessment after a year, to see if I was likely to be able to return.
Felis_Catus_Domesticussounds reasonable to me..

I would agree, most Americans are ignorant (about legally required working conditions in western civilised countries).

@ NovaNaturalist🇨🇦🇩🇰🇬🇱🇵🇦🇲🇽🇱🇸🇳🇫🇺🇦🏳️🌈 #FBPE@IncHulk @MostlyHarmless most Americans have no grasp of what a civilised country is, and that is the problem.

Well we did, aside from all the slavery, and land stealing and minority oppression, that is.
But I can't think of too many countries who do. Maybe the Scandinavian nations?

Teetering perilously into a Pythonesque "what have the Americans ever done to others?"
hömma@MostlyHarmless The US is the richest third world country in the world. Potholes, above-ground electricity lines, chlorine-infested tap water, healthcare, parental leave…
Hot Dog WaterLast place I worked - a fawking health food and supplements hawker outta Colorado, tied sick days to vacation days like so many. So if you're sick, you're on vacation. And only 2 weeks in the year are you granted not to be there. They didn't like granting vacations and made you feel the resentment upon your return.
Fuck jobs for bosses.

"The whole concept of 'sick days' is idolatrous capitalism. When we started work in The Netherlands, we asked HR how many sick days we get. The reply - all of them. When you are sick, you stay home. When you are well, you work. Dutch law 'If you own a company and one of your employees becomes ill, you must go on paying them for a max of 2 years.'"

gkrnours@MostlyHarmless in france, if you are sick, you are supposed to not go work but you don't get paid for the first three days in the private sector

@MostlyHarmless This bugged me so much going from the Netherlands to New Zealand.
Here in New Zealand, I get (currently) 10 sick days.
BUT! I only get these after working at the company for half a year (legally, most companies just give you the days from day 1)
Which is such a weird concept, not being able/allowed to be sick in the first half year of working somewhere
