Sickness calculator

Sickness benefit can be received in several cases: 1) if you are covered by social insurance; 2) if you became temporarily unable to work and as a result lost your income from work (there are exceptions); 3) if you have at least three months in the last 12 months or at least six months in the last 24 months of sickness social insurance (there are exceptions) before the start of the temporary disability.

In order to receive sickness benefits, you must have a duly issued electronic certificate of incapacity for work. The marking of an employee's sick leave is only possible for the past days and depends on whether the employee has fallen ill and is caring for a sick person. The workplace pays for the first two days of the employee's illness. The workplace does not pay for employee care days.

Every case is different. For example, in case of illness or injury - until the day of recovery of working capacity or the day of determining the level of working capacity; during voluntary treatment in personal health care institutions - no longer than 28 calendar days once per calendar year; in the case of outbreaks of infectious diseases of particularly dangerous or unknown origin, or in the case of a quarantine regime established in the foci of epidemics, no longer than 90 calendar days per calendar year. Therefore, each case should be evaluated individually.

Sickness allowance for caring for a sick family member or taking care of a child is paid from the first day.

Sickness or care allowance is paid from the funds of the State Social Insurance Fund. Sickness benefit paid from the funds of the State Social Insurance Fund cannot be less than 11.64% per month. of the country's average monthly wage. It is true that the payment depends a lot on the duration of the payment. The employer pays for the first two days of unemployment (due to illness), and the employer does not pay for the employee's care days.

The sickness or care allowance is equal to 65.94 percent of compensatory earnings. Compensatory earnings, according to which the amount of the sickness benefit is determined, is calculated based on the insured person's insurable earnings during 3 consecutive calendar months.

The maximum compensatory earnings for calculating the sickness benefit cannot exceed the two national average monthly wages that were valid in the previous quarter before the month of incapacity for work.
