Article 2224

An employee who has completed his probation shall be entitled to sick leave where he becomes incapable as a result of sickness resulting other than from an employment injury.

Sick leave may not exceed six months counted consecutively or separately in any twelve-month period from the first day of the employee’s sickness.

Where he absents himself from work because of sickness, the employee shall notify the employer no later than the day following his absence and shall present a valid medical certificate.
