“Parents can manage harmless illnesses themselves’ – pediatricians are calling for an end to the requirement to have a certificate. As of: March 30, 2024, 6:32 a.m If doctors have their way, children's sick leave should finally be abolished.
This creates too much work in the practices. The German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB) supported the pediatricians' demand. The initiative is “exactly right,” explained Anja Piel from the DGB board.
