The Sick Leave Letter for Work is a crucial document in Indonesian employment relations, required whenever an employee needs to take time off work due to illness or medical conditions. This document is mandated under Indonesian labor laws, particularly Law No. 13 of 2003 (Manpower Act), which requires proper documentation of sick leave for both employee protection and employer records. The letter must be accompanied by appropriate medical certification and should be submitted as soon as practicable when an employee becomes ill. It serves multiple purposes: officially notifying the employer of the absence, documenting the duration and reason for the leave, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and facilitating proper work arrangement during the employee's absence. This document is particularly important in Indonesia as it ties directly to employee rights regarding paid sick leave and helps prevent any potential disputes regarding unauthorized absence.
