In Germany, workers are entitled to up to six weeks of fully paid sick leave and 78 weeks of leave within a three-year period for a given illness. Additionally, they receive 70% of their gross monthly salary during sick leave, covered by health insurance.
In Germany, paid sick leave benefits extend to cases of depression or burnout, contrasting with the US where there are no federal legal requirements for paid sick leave.
Employers in the US can determine their own sick leave and paid time off benefits, with no mandatory federal guidelines like those in Germany where workers are entitled to at least 30 paid sick leave days.
