    Based on data from 26 people who took the Breakroom Quiz between March 2025 and February 2026.

    Why this matters

    Everyone gets sick sometimes. You should be able to take time off without worrying.

    At a good job you should still get paid if you’re scheduled to work but can’t due to sickness. Your contract should say how many sick days you can take each year.

    This is more than the legal minimum, which says you should only get paid if you are unwell for 4 full days. See Citizens Advice for more details.

    This makes it easier to plan your finances, because you know how much you’ll be earning.
