In the first three months of the year
private sector workers took over twice as much sick leave as
their public sector counterparts, the Italian national social
welfare institute INPS said on Tuesday.
Some 4.68 million medical certificates were submitted to INPS
by private sector workers in the period January-March, up 12.4%
over the same period in 2017.
This translated into over 28 million days of sick leave.
By comparison, public sector workers sent in 1.89 million
certificates attesting illness, up 3.1% over 2017 but with a
1.1% drop in days off work.
