Information request about sick leaves
The Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Latvia is working with
industry associations on measures to reduce administrative and financial burden in
order to strengthen and improve the business-friendly environment.
Currently, the Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Latvia is working
on the issue of payment, issuance and control of sick leaves (only standard sick
leaves not including sick leaves for taking care of a sick child or occupational
diseases).
In order to compare the sick leave systems of Latvia and Estonia, could you
please provide the following data and information:
1. Data about initial period of sick leave covered by the employer (from
the fourth to the eighth day):
• what are the employer's expenses in the last 3 years (monthly if
possible);
• how many such sick leaves are issued in the last 3 years, has the
regularity of sick leaves on certain days or diagnoses been
studied?
• have the average employee replacements, overtime contributions
in companies due to employee sick leaves been calculated?
2. Data about the subsequent period of sick leave covered by the state
i.e., Health Insurance Fund (from day nine):
• what are the state expenses in the last 3 years (monthly if
possible);
• how many such sick leaves are issued in the last 3 years, has the
regularity of sick leaves on certain days or diagnoses been
studied?
3. Whether the profile of the long-term sick leave recipient has been
studied (has the profile of the recipient of a long-term sick leave
been studied (age, gender, occupation, industry, working in the
public or private sector)?
4. Sick leaves payment and control:
• has Estonian model of sick leave been evaluated from government and
business companies side and how the amount of compensation paid
by the employer and the state was chosen?
• how are the sick leaves controlled, is there an IT system that controls
sick leaves (if such a system exists, what is the efficiency of the
system), do you perform physical inspection of patients?
5. Do you think that the state's responsibility in the Estonian sick
leave system is sufficient? Have the possibilities been considered for
the state to take on more responsibility, for example by increasing the
number of days paid by the state for sick leaves by taking a day paid
from the employer?
The Ministry of Economics of the Republic of Latvia will greatly appreciate
if the Estonian Health Insurance Fund can kindly prepare and submit the required
information by August 23. If necessary, please contact to Jolanta Nalivaiko:
We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to your
response.
Sincerely,
Acting State Secretary, Deputy State Secretary Ilze Beināre
