      In Germany, employees with an approved sick note will receive 100% of their salary for up to six weeks, and after that will be paid 70% until fit to work.

          1 year 70%, then the govt takes over at 70%.

          You get 100% for short absences with all decent employers as a benefit.

          The real perk though is unlimited self-certifying. Your employer has no right to know what kind of sick you are.
