Chapter 7

Leave of Absence

2. Sick Leave

Policy

When an employee is ill or suffers from the injury, which inhibits his/her ability to work, sick leave will be

granted.

1. Conditions

1.1 In each calendar year, the employee is entitled to sick leave with pay up to 30 workdays as long as
he/she is actually ill.

1.2 Due to the need for continuous medical treatment, the Company may allow the employee to take
additional sick leave without pay for more than 30 workdays. A medical certificate from a first-class
Physician is required to justify this extended sick leave.

1.3 An employee who takes sick leave irrelevant to on-the-job sickness for more than 30 workdays per year
may be deemed incompetent and may be subjected to job transfer or employment termination.

1.4 In case employee is sick or injured due to the accident during performing his/her duty, and by the advice
of the first-class physician, the Company will allow sick leave with pay (partly by the Workmen’s

compensation Fund and partly by the Company) until he/she is recovered and can return to work again.

2. Procedures

2.1 To prevent any disruption to work, an employee who must be absent from work due to sickness must
inform his/her supervisor as soon as possible or at his first possible opportunity. Once the employee
returns to work, he/she must report his/her supervisor and submit the e-leave request accordingly.

2.2 In case of an emergency when an employee has to receive immediate medical treatment that prevents
him/her from informing his/her supervisor as mentioned in 2.1, the employee or his/her family member
shall proceed to inform the supervisor at the first possible opportunity.

2.3 If the sickness requires absence from work for 3 or more consecutive days, the employee shall also
provide a medical certificate as a supporting document to the leave request.
