Emergency and Sick Leave
The labor law covers you in the event of a serious emergency that requires the employee takes time off work. Employees are entitled to up to 5 days unpaid leave without the risk of dismissal.

The labor law is not all that clear about how many sick days should be available for 120 hrs per month contracts. Usually a contract will have 3-5 days sick leave, but sometimes this is only paid at the end of a contract or not paid at all. It is one of the hardest issues to resolve, as no employer is happy having an employee sick and away from work, as they have no coverage for the classes the teacher would have been taking.
