The method of calculating the medical leave allowance for an employee having employment contracts concluded with several employers
The allowances are calculated and paid, as the case may be, by each employer with whom the minimum insurance period of 6 months is fulfilled. The basis of calculation for each allowance is only the income obtained for each place of realization.
There is also an exception. In the case of insured persons who are teachers and carry out their activity at several employers to complete the teaching norm, the periods of insurance completed in the last 12 months before the month for which the sick leave is granted are used by all employers. The allowances are calculated and paid by each employer. The basis for calculation is only the income obtained from each place of realization.
Carrying out activities based on which income from salaries or assimilated to salaries is obtained simultaneously as the insured persons’ benefits from medical leave is considered contravention.
