How is sickness pay calculated?
The 1st sickness day is unpaid. For days 2–3 the employer pays at least 75% of average earnings, and for days 4–9 at least 80%. Under certificate A, sick pay applies to days the employee would have worked.
For ordinary illness, certificate B starts on day 10. VSAA pays sickness benefit at 80% of the average social insurance contribution salary for calendar days.
For an employee, VSAA calculates average contribution salary over a 12-month period ending two months before the month in which incapacity began.
