If you become sick, the first step would be to inform your employer as soon as possible. This is generally done via a sick letter or Krankenschein in Germany.
Depending on your workplace’s policy and location, you may need to see a doctor and get a medical certificate attesting your condition. For example, in Hungary, once you’ve obtained a medical certificate, the doctor will usually submit it electronically.
Once you’ve notified your employer and obtained the necessary medical documentation, check with your employer or human resources department to see if there is a specific sick pay request form you need to fill out.
Complete the form as required and submit, including attaching any necessary medical documentation.
Await for your employer or the human resources department to approve the sick pay. The timelines may vary depending on your workplace policy.
