4. Sick leave
Sick leave is usually registered from the first day of illness. A doctor's note may be required depending on the duration and company policy.
⚠️ Weekends and public holidays do not count as sick days.
5. Work hours and time registration
When Italy is selected, no time registration method is chosen automatically. The administrator must manually choose between:
• Time registration without hour bank
• Time registration with hour bank
⚠️ The choice depends on whether work hours are accumulated as a balance or only documented.
Important
The standard setup is based on common practice in Denmark.
Companies with collective agreements or special arrangements must manually adjust their policies.
