Medical reimbursement
An employee who has worked for at least 3 months is eligible to claim for medical consultation fees, even on non-working days and annual leave.
Other medical costs e.g. medication are claimable based on the company’s policy or its collective agreement with a union.
An employer does not need to grant paid sick leave or pay medical fees for cosmetic procedures, where an examining physician can determine if the reasons are cosmetic.
Unfit to continue working
The employer may terminate the services of an employee if she/he is certified by a physician as unfit to continue working. Compensation for termination should respect the terms set out in the employment contract, where a payment in goodwill is optional.
