Hi everyone, I was on sick leave for about 3 weeks (18 Days Working Days) and have already returned to work. Despite that, my employer reported my case to their insurance , and I received several documents:
- “Krankentag-Kontrolle” (to be filled out by my doctor)
- a “Vollmacht” (power of attorney) to sign
- a form for a medical diagnosis report In the letter, it says that I should send the Krankentag-Kontrolle monthly, which confuses me because I was only sick for a relatively short period and I’m already back at work. From what I understand, KTG is usually more relevant for longer illnesses, and there is often a waiting period before any benefits are paid. So my questions are: Is it normal in Switzerland that KTG insurance is already involved for a relatively short sick leave ? Do I really need to continue sending documents monthly even though I’m no longer sick? Is signing such a “Vollmacht” standard in these cases, or is it considered quite broad? Would it be enough to just submit everything once and consider the case closed? I’m not sure if this is just a standard process or if I’m overthinking it. Thanks a lot for any insights 🙏 submitted by /u/thenightshiftceo
