About this statute

The provision states the purpose of the sickness benefits law and says who may receive sickness benefits, including employees, self-employed persons, certain unemployed persons, and some people with work injuries. The minister may set special rules for sick pay for seafarers. Sick pay generally requires lawful residence in the country and taxable income, but the text lists several exceptions, including certain stays abroad and people covered by EU or international social security rules. Section 54 limits who can receive sickness benefits and sets rules for payment, employer follow-up, and retention plans. Employers may request early follow-up on an employee’s absence, the employee must be informed, and the municipality must run an individualized follow-up process with the sick-listed person involved. Kommunen skal følge op på sygemeldte, indhente oplysninger, holde samtaler, vurdere ret til sygedagpenge og sætte relevante tiltag i gang; den sygemeldte skal udfylde og svare på oplysningsskemaet.
