About this statute

This provision says the law’s purpose is to provide sickness benefit compensation for absence due to illness and to support return to work and cooperation to reduce sickness absence. The minister may set special rules for sick pay to seafarers. Sick pay depends on lawful residence or specific listed exceptions, and some people covered by social-security rules or agreements can qualify even without residence. This section limits who can receive sick pay, assigns payment responsibility between the municipality and employer, and requires employer follow-up with sick employees. The employer may report the absence when asking the municipality to start early follow-up, and the employee must be informed. The employee may object to early follow-up, may ask for it if not expected to recover within 8 weeks, and the municipality must run an individualized follow-up process in ongoing sick-pay cases. Kommunen must follow up on sick-leave cases, gather information, hold meetings, assess entitlement, and arrange the relevant support; the sick-listed person must complete the information form and cooperate, and some follow-up steps have deadlines and conditions.
