If you get sick here you can vacation for 2 years, 70% salary will continue
Those who work in the office worldwide get vacations in a fixed limit. If someone gets sick, he has to take a vacation after cutting salary. Most of the companies like India have the same system, but there is also a country that takes the health of the employees so seriously that if he is sick, they can take a holiday of up to 2 years and get 70 percent salary during this time. This country is the Netherlands, where the ‘Disease Statement Scheme’ worldwide remains a topic of discussion. Salary is available, even though it is ill for two years, the government and businesses in the Netherlands assure that no employee has to experience spiritual or financial tensions if he becomes ill. By law here, if any employee gets sick, he can take leave for two years and get 70 percent of his total salary during this time. This arrangement is called ‘sick pe scheme’, which is an integral part of Dutch labor law. In the first year, it is ensured that the salary received by the employee should, under no circumstances be less than the minimum wage. Although this imperative ends from the second year, 70 percent salary is available. This scheme is for every employee, whether permanent or on a temporary contract. Some businesses give 100% salary in the first year. Many companies from the Netherlands extend beyond this rule and give their employees full or 100% salary in the first year. These companies believe that the financial harassment of the sick employee can slow down the rate of improvement in his health. As a result of such thinking, the businesses are paid full salary in the first year, so that they can focus on their health without tension. However, to utilize this scheme, employees must also follow some responsibilities. For example, once the employee is ill, he must inform it in the office on the very first day. The company then sends its authorized doctor who evaluates the health of the employee. False diseases can be found on punishment, the responsibility of both the employee and the enterprise under this rule, employees must also provide full support in the process of recovery and distance. The employee must receive treatment and obey the doctor’s advice so that he can return to work as soon as possible. If an employee deliberately excuses the disease or does not cooperate on the recovery, the company may stop its salary. On the other hand, the company also has the responsibility to make all possible efforts to make the employee work again. Whether it should go a light service, training or appoint a different role, companies must make every effort. But if the employee has not been fully restored after two years and is unable to return to office, the responsibility to give the salary of the business past. This model can become an example for the world. This system of the Netherlands not only gives importance to employees’ health, but also reflects strong networks for social security between companies and government. Although this scheme provides spiritual and financial relief to the sick employees, on the other hand, this rule also makes a responsible employer. This scheme also proves that when employees get a stress -free environment, they are better healthy and are more productive by returning to office. In many countries, including India, where there is a fear of going to work due to illness, this model of the Netherlands can become an ideal. Such schemes can be a prosperity for mental health of working people and show how a developed society prioritizes the health of its citizens.
