Sick leave in a mini job

If you are ill, you must inform your employer before your working day begins. You then have to tell him/her how long you (think you) will be ill for. From the fourth (consecutive) day you must have a sick note from a doctor and give it to your employer. Your employment contract states which regulations apply to you. If you have been working for your employer for more than four weeks, you are entitled to continued payment of your wages for up to six weeks (during the illness).

Please note: you do not have to make up for sick days by working extra days later. You must still receive your wages.
