I work in HR, I'm not just a bean counter..... In the uk women take time off work sick when the kids are sick due to the wage gap up to 20%.... It's natural that the woman will stay at home especially if there is no pay. In Sweden however there is VAB and the influence on pay gap is more obvious as women take more VAB than men although this mechanism is also abused by both sexes as you normally don't get paid anything for the first full day you are sick. @Raven please don't make sweeping statements without considering the whys.... From a personal point of view I generally survive till the weekend.. However in Sweden if you do have a slight fever or winter vomiting you must stay at home.... This does not mean however you are unable to work. We have 10 staff members on 1st day reporting, ie they need a doctors note for every sick day... None are women
