A full-time employee is entitled to ten days' sick leave for every twelve-month period of employment and a part-time employee is entitled to sick leave calculated on a pro-rata basis in relation to the number of days accrued by a full-time employee.
The period of twelve months referred to in subsection (1) shall be computed from the beginning of employment or the anniversary date of employment, but where the leave is not taken at the end of that period, it shall be forfeited unless otherwise agreed in the contract of employment or by prior arrangement.
Where an employee is injured in the course of his duties and the injury arises out of the nature of his employment, the number of paid sick-leave days shall be increased from ten to fifteen.
Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Law, the requirements of section 18 shall be applied as far as practicable to a work-related injury.
During a period of sick leave an employee shall be paid the basic daily remuneration he would have received if he had worked on those days.
