Partial sick leave
Partial sick leave (aktiv sykemelding) is an arrangement where workers may work in spite of being ill. Before considering partial sick leave, graded sick leave should have been tried out at first. With partial sick leave the employer pays the sick pay for the first 16 work days, thereafter the worker will receive partial sickness benefits for the remaining sickness period. The duration of partial sick leave is generally 4 weeks, but may be prolonged with a new 4 weeks period if needed. It may even be further prolonged, if it is approved by the National Labour and Welfare Organization, (e.g. NAV). A mutually agreeable plan for re-entry to work must be established between the employer and employee.
In WHL, partial sick leave can be registered for the whole sickness period, with a start date at least one day ahead of today.
