Summary of the new proposed labor reform

[Uncle Wong]

According to the latest news, all "sick leave"- related changes have been dropped due to strong opposition. I do not know the "sick leave" rules here, but there are standard payroll rules worldwide, and I am not sure why this is a controversial topic here. Is there anyone who knows (not speculates), who can enlighten us here? I am genuinely curious.

Based on what my friend told me the sick leave rules here are a total joke. As long as you get a doctor to sign a letter you can take off. Obviously with the fraud and abuse, you can pay any doctor to sign whatever note you want.

But is there a limit on the number of sick leave days you can take in a year? That's the usual practice everywhere: you are entitled to X paid sick days per year. But it seems there is no such limit here and hence the problems? I do not know.
