The sick leave calculation depends on the employee’s length of service and earnings for the previous two years. If the seniority of the worker is less than five years, the payment will be 60 percent of the average income. For employees with five to eight years of experience, the allowance is up to 80 percent.
Since the beginning of the year, the circle of policyholders has been expanding. People working under civil law contracts can receive sick leave, payments related to pregnancy and childbirth, to care for a child up to 1.5 years old.
Contractors under contracts for which contributions to the Social Insurance Fund in the amount of at least 4,833.72 rubles were paid in 2022 will be able to receive payments. Thus, those who worked in 2022 under an employment contract or combined work under an employment contract and civil law will be able to count on payments.
