Sick pay is the continued, time limited, payment of (part of) the worker’s salary by the employer during a period of sickness. A sickness benefit is provided by the social protection system and is paid as a fixed rate of previous earnings, or a flat-rate amount. All European Union (EU) Member States provide sick leave and sickness benefits. In most of them, salaried and waged employees may also — by law, collective agreement or at the discretion of the employer — be entitled to sick pay, either for an initial shorter period of absence or for the entire duration of sick leave.

Second is a temporary incapacity benefit, which lasts as long as the medical benefit except that a waiting period of a few days is frequently prescribed. The benefit varies from country to country, ranging from 50 percent of the employee’s wage to 100 percent; the most common benefits are 66 2/3 percent and 75 percent. (Britannica)
