Scenario: Employer notifies employee of termination or employee notifies employer of resignation
Fact: During this period the employee is required to work, unless waived by the employer
Question: what happens when the employee is sick and procures a doctor’s note ?
Answer:
If an employee is sick during advance notice period and produces a doctor’s sick note to the employer, he is eligible for sick pay, according to the sick day law and contingent on his accumulated sick day balance.
The advance notice period is a work period for all intent and purposes, employer-employee relations still exist, for better and for worse.
This is true when the employer has given notice before termination and when an employee has given notice before resignation.
The date of termination or resignation and end of employer-employee relations remain the same as it originally was written in the advance notification and is not pushed back due to the sick days.
