Article 26(1) of the Convention. Duration of sickness benefit. The Committee understands from the Government’s report that sickness benefit is provided up to a maximum of 380 calendar days from the beginning of the temporary inability to work. In case of a new temporary inability to work, the previous period of sickness is counted in the period of 380 days; it is not counted however, if the two cases of sickness are separated by a period of the insured activity of at least 190 calendar days. The Committee invites the Government to explain how these rules are consistent with Article 26(1) of the Convention, which requires provision of benefit for not less than 52 weeks (365 days) in each case of incapacity, and to indicate whether persons having exhausted their rights under sickness insurance are eligible for disability benefits or social assistance.
