Does an employer have to provide a minimum amount of sick leave? My employer is only offering 2 days for my contract which expires in July.
Thanks

Q1. Can paid sickness days be accumulated?
A1. Yes. Paid sickness days can be accumulated up to a maximum of 120 days. It is accumulated at the rate of 2 paid sickness days for each completed month of employment under a continuous contract during the first 12 months of employment, and 4 paid sickness days per month thereafter.

Paid sickness days are divided into two categories - Category 1 being the first 36 days accumulated; and Category 2 being the subsequent 84 days. (Click here to see Q2 for paid sick leave taken under Categories 1 & 2)
