If you are on sick leave, remember that the employer and ZUS have the right to check the use of the sick leave. When issuing the certificate, we must provide the doctor with the address where we will actually be. Controllers can go to the indicated address. And what happens next depends on the entry in the medical indications on the sick leave and how the patient applies to it at the time of the check-up.
In the first place, when we get a sick leave, we have to notify the boss about it. In the case of electronic sick leave – they go to the company’s account automatically, electronically.
A person with a sick leave with an entry “1” in medical indications should lie down, that is, be at home unconditionally. We can only visit a doctor or pharmacy, or stay in a hospital.
If the doctor, on sick leave, enters the symbol “2” in the medical indications, it means that the patient has the right to go for a walk, to the store for basic products or to the pharmacy. If the doctor has written a prescription for the patient, he / she is obliged to buy the necessary medications and follow the recommendations regarding their dosage. It is unacceptable to carry out any renovation or paid work or go on vacation during our sickness absence – we read on Rynekzdrowia.pl.
There are more and more inspections of people who are on sick leave. In the current year, 241,1 thous. people control. There were nearly 15 decisions withholding further payment of the benefit.
Remember that being on sick leave in connection with an illness is not only the rights, but also obligations that we must comply with, no matter what form – electronic or paper – the sick leave was issued. In case of any change of our place of stay during the release, we are obliged to inform the payer of the benefit – we read on poranny.pl.
