Do you work on your sick leave?

Question

Work organization

It is clear that when you feel sick, etc. etc. it is impossible to work. But when the usual ARVI or a day got sick, and another 5 days of sick leave at your disposal do you give to work or rest?
The question is more related to ordinary developers who work for the RFP. I understand that business owners will continue to work in whatever condition they are.

Answer 1

The fact that the temperature has leveled off does not mean that you are healthy. This usually means that the immune system has overcome the active stage of the disease, suppressed the growth of the pathogen and is recovering, but depending on the course of the disease, the body itself can be significantly weakened. If you want to work - work, but if I were you, I would rest.
The normal recovery of the body after an illness is a guarantee that it will not immediately fall ill with something else. This is a guarantee that you will be productive longer in your life. With age, regeneration and immunity weaken, and every extra transferred and untreated sore threatens to turn into a chronic one.
There is a normal paid sick leave. If you do not exceed the number of days per year under your contract - use for recovery. But yes, rest from work does not mean that work can be replaced by tanks. Rest is sleeping, eating, drinking, comfortable surroundings.
PS At the same time, it quite happens that the doctor is mistaken and gives more than necessary - then decide for yourself.
PPS Work that is organized in such a way that it can completely fly if one employee falls ill and cannot work temporarily is organized incorrectly.

Answer 2

Let's analyze the question and it turns out that the basis is three questions:
1. How is your conscience?
2. Do you get paid for sick leave?
3. Are you interested in the project?
That is, freelancers will answer: Yes.
People who have a code flowing in their veins: the third question
People who work only for the sake of money - the main thing for them is the second question
People who make their own project - the first question
People who understand the importance of rest will answer: No.

Answer 3

Working when you are sick is complete idiocy - you need to recover so as not to catch complications, the employer who makes you work is also an idiot because he has a chance to get a sick team - which can be bent. And in general, in one company where I worked for cookies, there were vitamins. Because it was cheaper to feed us with vitamins than to pay sick leave.

Answer 4

Depends on the relationship with the employer)) Usually I finish the urgent and have a little rest or study something. Well, if everything is urgent and on fire, then this is a bad employer)

Answer 5

If you reformulate your question. "Will you work or be sick if there is a problem with your business, if you own it and because of this problem you do not receive money?"

Answer 6

I am engaged in self-development. Books, videos, trying out any new code.
If mommy dear is shocking, I do something through the teamviewer.

Answer 7

No. Even so - No
You can't buy health, you can't earn all the money, you can't study everything. The harsh reality of our lives is that it is better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick. Nobody needs a patient. Therefore, in the hospital - I get sick, I lie down, I eat medicine, at most - I read a book.
UPD (January 13, 2018): By the time of the update, I managed to lie down in the hospital - about two months after I wrote the answer, I caught severe food poisoning. With all the attributes - and there are many of them and they are all unpleasant. I spent ten days in the hospital, although already on the fourth day it was possible to write a refusal and dump it - in fact, I realized that I had some kind of disgusting thing, the body had already carried out self-cleaning and even more or less recovered, but I decided "e ... all the horse" and lay all ten days :) True, the laptop was brought to me almost instantly - I was still under a dropper, and I already had to answer the phone :)
You can't buy health, ladies and gentlemen :)

Answer 8

If I'm sick, I work from home. If I get really sick, I take sick leave. Sick leave is calculated stupidly somehow, if you work for less than 3-4 years, then consider sick leave in the Russian Federation is not paid. I have been working for a year and a half with a white salary of 35k, for 8 days of sick leave I received about 1k, you see, the last and the year before last is taken, if I didn’t work, zeros everywhere, and then another 60% from the average. As a result, they calculate according to the minimum wage and voila, you are going to hell and not money.

Answer 9

never took sick leave at all) one or two days off maximum)

Answer 10

Individually. If there are deadlines, deadlines, etc., then if you feel normal, you will work on sick leave, even if not 100% at home. Or if there is a responsible task that no one except you will do qualitatively (this also happens). If there is nothing like that, then you can "rest".
