"If an employee loses his / her ability to work during the leave, he / she will be paid for the days that fall on those working days."

APA reports that this was stated by Chief of the State Labor Inspection Service Fuad Heydarov on "Social Hour" program.

He said that this is regulated by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers: “In this case, the employee is paid both vacation pay and sickness benefits.

Persons who have lost their ability to work may also take that leave by applying to the employer.

We have prepared a draft amendment to the Labor Code to regulate this process.
