It’s supposed to, but then you don’t get to 15 days per year, let alone 20 days in 2023. That’s 4 full working weeks in a year. I’m not saying people should be forced to work when sick, but something is off here. Looking at other stats, people aren’t sick that many days a year
What’s the median though? Through burnout, chronic illnesses,… some people are out sick for weeks or months at a time. That moves the average significantly.
Also e.g. parents becoming sick via their children more than they would on their own. And so on.
In any case - this isn’t really an issue, is it? It has worked without issue for a long time. This is simply an attempt to reduce workers’ rights and reduce spending at the cost of the poor and middle class, because the top few percent are sacred to the CDU.
It’s used for when you are sick.

Maybe there was a system change and the traceability is better now.
