December 2015- “Sick leave requirements across Asia” by the HRD Magazine

The international HRD magazine interviewed Caroline Berube about hiring, firing and terminating employees in Singapore, Hong Kong and China. In the fourth installment of the article in this series, HRD talked about sick leave in the region. For example, in Singapore sick leave depends on how long the employee has been working with the company and/ or hospitalization requirements; in Hong Kong, sick leave may depend on a medical certificate; and in China the sick leave entitlement is the most generous ranging from 3 months to 24 months. Employees are paid a reduced rate while on sick leave almost everywhere but the exact amount owed depends on local employment regulations.
