Betegállomány

Betegállomány, often translated as sick leave or sickness benefit, refers to a system that provides financial support to individuals who are unable to work due to illness or injury. This system is typically managed by social security institutions or national health insurance programs. The purpose of betegállomány is to ensure that individuals can maintain their livelihood and receive necessary medical care without facing severe financial hardship during periods of incapacity.

To be eligible for betegállomány, individuals usually need to meet certain criteria, such as having a documented medical condition certified by a healthcare professional. The duration and amount of benefit received can vary depending on factors like the length of employment, the severity of the illness, and the specific regulations of the country. In many cases, employers also play a role in the process, often being responsible for initial payments or facilitating the claims process. The system aims to balance the needs of the individual with the economic realities of supporting a workforce during periods of absence.
