Have you all endured pain and went to work?
There are only two days off in a year for Koreans because of illness.
This is the lowest level among OECD countries.
It's not because Koreans are very healthy.
51.9% of the employed were sick enough to not be able to work within 10 years.
However, in our country, sick leave is not guaranteed by law, and there is a perception that it is a virtue to work hard even if you are sick, so it is difficult to rest even if you are sick.
As a result, many people do not receive timely treatment and their disease worsens.
Recently, the government has introduced a system called sickness and sickness allowance, emphasizing the 'right to rest from sickness'.
In a nutshell, sickness and sickness allowance is a system in which the state gives money so that you can focus on treatment even if you are sick and cannot work.
When and how can I use it?
