Editing Vacation & Sick Leave Policy (section)

== General Terms ==

* This policy applies to employees employed on a full-time basis.

* Each employee is entitled to '''10 days of paid sick leave per year'''.

* Every sick leave taken by an employee must be documented and/or marked on the company calendar.

* If the '''days of sick leave used are not documented''' due to the employee's fault (failure to notify the responsible party – the employee must inform the responsible person about the use of paid sick leave before submitting the monthly payroll to the supervisor), '''the sick leave will not be paid'''.

* The employee should add the sick leave days '''to their profile in the Vacation Tracker''' (guide on using the Vacation Tracker) or notify the person responsible for leave/project manager to do so. If neither of these options is possible, the employee must inform the team about their absence and the reasons for it in '''the #ooo channel'''.

* If an employee takes a '''couple of sick days''' due to feeling unwell (e.g., high blood pressure, dizziness, any pain, signs of a cold, food poisoning, etc.), they '''may not be confirmed by a doctor'''. However, if the employee takes '''sick leave for 3 days or more''', '''it must be confirmed''' by a medical certificate from a hospital or a photo of the medical card/record showing:
  * Hospital name,
  * Doctor's name and signature,
  * Date of visit,
  * Reasons for seeking medical attention,
  * Conclusion.
