Talk:Sick leave

message: I noticed that the page seems to present sick leave from a somewhat skewed perspective. Specifically, the "Procedures on sickness absence reporting" section seems to assume a relatively micromanaged environment of day-to-day work. Many occupations, eg software development, University professor, actuary, are often subject to more relaxed reporting requirements due to their job being less time-sensitive. 216.36.186.2 (talk) 18:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. 27 paragraphs about just the USA is rather disproportionate. — Fyrius (talk) 13:12, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possibly skewed perspective. 

message: The content of this article is about paid sick leave, and "sick leave" typically refers to paid time away from work. There seems to not be any Wikipedia article about the concept of "unpaid time off work". I looked in PubMed and Google Scholar for papers on the subject and could not immediately find anything.
Most workers in the world do not get paid time off work when they are sick or otherwise. If sources exist, I wish there could be a Wikipedia article on that topic. Does anyone have sources?  Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:18, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
