Are you open to the idea of crediting a certain number of days of paid leave for those starting in a position?
For example, let's suppose that a new employee has two months of continuous service and has therefore accumulated two days of leave. He falls ill and has to take, say, four days of leave. If I understand correctly, with the current wording, that employee will have two days of paid sick leave and two days of unpaid leave.
Would we be able to use some days of paid leave as a credit, to make sure that we are making the measure really work? Are you prepared to consider an amendment along those lines?
