In a tripartite meeting, the unions, employers, and the government have agreed to boost paid sick leave in the case of long-term illness. The government is hoping to tack one of three possible options discussed so far onto a health insurance amendment. The prime minister has already said he will back a proposal put forward by the labour ministry, counting on a rise of six percent in paid sick leave from the 31st day off.
