In Namibia, employers are legally obliged to allow their employees the time off they need to deal with illness in the family. This includes time off to care for sick family members and time off to care for family members with disabilities. In terms of the Employment Act, every employee is entitled to one day of paid leave per month if they have been employed at the company for more than three months; this amount increases to two days of paid leave after 12 months of employment at the company and an additional day each year up until five years of employment, at which point it becomes capped at nine days’ annual leave per year.

How Many Days of Sick Leave Employers Must Provide?

In Namibia, employers must provide an employee with a minimum of 15 days of paid sick leave per year. If the employee has worked for the same employer for one year, they are entitled to 15 days of paid sick leave. If they have worked for the same employer for more than one year, but less than two years, they are entitled to 20 days of paid sick leave.

Do I Get Paid When I’m On Sick Leave?

You are entitled to sick leave if you work for a company that has at least 10 employees or with the government. The time you can take is determined by your contract. If you don’t have a contract, then it’s usually up to one year. You are paid for this time off and you cannot be fired from your job while on sick leave, but you do need to let your employer know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
