>but up immensely compared to France and the UK (which do not)
Have decent sick pay, france seems to pay 20%, UK like 10ish%, makes complete sense that such countries would have less sick days.
>I mean just google. For example:
This is the kind of mediocre dataset I dislike, going to their datasource ( https://gateway.euro.who.int/en/indicators/hfa_411-2700-abse... ) half of germanys neighbours have not reported data for 2022, the graph they use for "EU" seems to just use the data from 2020 and stretch it over to 2022 because thats where the WHO dataset ends.
For example if you check out slovenia in the dataset they have a huge spike in 2022 (similar to germany) but went down a lot in 2023, Germany has no 2023 data so we can't say whether germany went down based on the WHO dataset.
Two papers linked in the article show germany going down to at least 2021 levels in 2023, yet this does not seem represented in the graph.
It's legally 50% for the first 6 months - but French work benefits are very largely defined by collective conventions agreed between unions and industry, which grant rights to employees above legal ones across entire sectors. Most employees will have a higher sick pay, but I can't find statistics about it.
