Berlin: If you suddenly feel bad, you can no longer call or text the boss to inform him that you are not coming to the office today. Office rules are strict. Sick Leave (Sick Leave) or sick leave is also extremely strict.

On the sick leave rule, he said, "We know it's a tough decision. But we can no longer accept the disadvantage that we are falling behind in the competition due to prolonged absence from work." The German chancellor claims these initiatives will boost job growth, jobs and competition. At the same time social development will also ensure security.

He said that the tax burden is being reduced on the lower income groups. Efforts are also being made to reduce taxes on workers and companies.  Changes are being made in the pension system. The changes being made to the pension system will further increase the retirement age.

Currently retirement age is 65 to 67 years. Earlier, if you take leave for three days, you don't have to see a doctor or give a certificate. A sick leave letter had to be submitted if one week leave was taken.

Even in that case seeing a doctor was not mandatory. But even if he takes sick leave one day from now, he will have to submit a doctor's certificate.
