Is the employee eligible to take sick leave during the notice period?

This is Hawra from Abdulwahab Attorneys & Legal Consultants.

Yes, you can take sick leave during the notice period, however, please make sure that you have a sick leave certificate.

In this respect, the Labour Law provides as follows:

"The employee who has completed three consecutive months in the employer’s service, whose sickness and entitlement to sick leave are evidenced by virtue of a certificate issued by any of the Government Medical Centers or any of the clinics approved by the employer, shall be entitled to the following sick leaves during the same year:

1. Fifteen days on full pay.

2. Twenty days on half-pay.

3. Twenty days without pay."
