sickness benefits
Pay while ill
Sickness benefits are payments made to workers who cannot work due to illness or injury.
These benefits typically come from government programs, employer-provided insurance, or both, and are designed to replace some portion of lost wages during recovery.
In the UK, statutory sick pay is the most common form; in the US, similar protections vary widely by state and employer.
