At Tesla's Gigafactory in Brandenburg, a conflict over sick pay has intensified as the company requires employees to substantiate their illnesses beyond German legal standards. Letters sent by Tesla questioned the validity of sick notes and threatened to halt wage payments and reclaim past sick leave payments. The IG Metall trade union condemned these actions as unacceptable. Previous measures included sending supervisors to check on absent workers, demonstrating a unique approach to managing employee illness, though company representatives defend these actions as standard in the industry.
Tesla's management has reportedly demanded extensive proof of illness from employees, questioning submitted sick notes and threatening to cut pay, which has caused unrest.
The IG Metall union highlights a troubling dispute over worker sick leave, condemning Tesla's demands for medical disclosures as an 'unacceptable approach'.
