A Sick Leave Policy is a formal guideline established by an organization that outlines the provisions related to employee absences due to illness. This policy typically specifies the amount of sick leave employees are entitled to, the process for notifying the employer when taking sick leave, and any necessary documentation, such as medical certificates. It may also address the distinction between paid and unpaid sick leave, how sick leave accumulates, and the conditions under which employees can use this leave.
