Grandmothers helped out, I only took sick leave when the child was seriously ill with a fever.

Tatyana So, if there's a runny nose and cough, but no fever, they still went to daycare?

Tatyana No, grandmothers used to sit, and they still do. But I changed jobs and haven't taken any sick days yet 🫣

Tatyana My grandmothers are working, so I think they'll help out somehow. I'm a teacher at the same kindergarten and I'm supposed to go back in a week, so I'm panicking right now.

I'm going back to work tomorrow. The kids will be with their grandma for a week while she's on sick leave. I would have stayed with them myself, but not on my first day back at work.

Borodaenko Olesya I have to go back to work at the same kindergarten on the 16th... I'm panicking... I'm staying home with my son this week because he's coughing. I don't know what will happen after that. How does your management view sick days?

In my first marriage, I had no money. I was on sick leave and treated myself on weekends.

I was covering for her at work. Two days off + Saturday and Sunday, and she would go in. Then she'd make up the hours. But it was easier for me. We were in the same kindergarten.

Marina At that time, yes. I retrained and went to kindergarten for the first time. I lasted a year without any sick days. A year later, I got sick with both my daughters and was hospitalized. I had to be treated there.

Marina I'm in such a panic. I'm due back in a week. I worked there before my maternity leave, but I have no idea what it will be like when I return. I'm so stressed out and anxious.

It was tough with my daughter. She was sick non-stop for the first six months of kindergarten. I brought her to my father-in-law's. Luckily, I was working part-time. I only took sick leave once when both kids had a fever. I returned to work before my leave officially ended. Even then, I had to listen to how I let people down. I was pretty shocked, honestly.

I was just deciding. If they were sick, I'd go on sick leave. For as long as needed. Yes, we stayed home a lot, yes, I took sick leave often. Yes, management wasn't very happy. But, I don't care - my children are more important to me.

Tanya Well, not after that. I really liked the work itself. It was more like a hobby. I happily ran there.
I worked under a civil law contract. Well, they didn't extend my contract again. They found someone of their own. It's a shame, it's annoying, but oh well.

I tried to go out when my husband was off. We didn't stay home sick for weeks either. We took him to grandma's a couple of times. And the adjustment period took 3 months. If you count sniffles as an illness, then a year wouldn't be enough!

Radyno Aleksandra I think so too. That's why I'm preparing for the management to scoff. How often could they take sick leave?

Radyno Aleksandra Strange question. If the doctor gives you sick leave, take it! There are no restrictions on it. You can stay on sick leave 365 days a year.

Radyno Aleksandra No, because sick days are allowed by the labor code.
If management doesn't like it, they can complain to the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection and ask them to change the labor code.

Radyno Aleksandra As it should be. After a week or two. I only went out once for 1 day and my daughter brought home rotavirus.
I was told off a couple of times, but I put them in their place. Then they grumbled in the corners.
