§28. In case of sickness, workpeople who are married or have their own household will continue to be allowed their wages in accordance with the following provisions for at most : — 1. Three months, should three years of service have been completed—• (a) in the case of entry into a hospital, by payment of three-quarters of the regular wage to the family, less statutory payments to the local sick ness fund ; (b) in the case of nursing outside the hospital, by payment of the difference between the statutory payments to the local sickness fund and the regular wage. 2. Six months, should five years of service have been completed, with the limitation that for the fourth to the sixth month of sickness— («) in the case of entry into a hospital, half of the regular wage, less the statutory payments to the local sickness fund, is paid to the family ; (b) in the case of nursing outside the hospital, three-quarters of the wage, less the statutory payments to the local sickness fund, is paid to the family. In cases of sickness lasting at least a week, full wages are paid for the first three days waiting time. In the case of accidents full wages will be paid without regard to the length of service and also for the first three days of incapacity to earn. The payment of the amounts is made on pay-day, after receipt of the certificate of the local sickness fund, at the direction of the technical officers. §29. Should workpeople who have their own household, and have been employed by the town uninterruptedly for a year, be called out to military practice, their families shall receive an addition to the assistance prescribed by the Imperial Law, the amount of which in the case of practice up to 14 days shall be equal to the difference between the regular wage and the legal assistance, but in the case of longer periods, for the time beyond 14 days, shall be equal to three-quarters of the regular daily wage, less the legal assistance. §30. The head of the department can grant leave of absence for four days to workpeople who have spent an uninterrupted period of three years in the employ of the town. In the case of periods of service of more than five years, six days leave can be granted, and in the case of periods of service of more than ten years, eight days. §31. On the decease of a worker who has spent an uninterrupted period of two years in the employment of the town, his widaw (or if such does not exist, the next of kin entitled to support) receives his regular daily wage for a period of two months. §33. In the sense of §§ 28 and 31, no interruption will be counted which is caused by sickness, calling out to military practice, or stoppage of a town undertaking, and has not lasted more than three months in the case of a period of service of five years or less, or six month 3 in the case of over five years’ service. 5.—Termination of Employment. §33. Fourteen days’ notice of dissolution of the employment relationship is required of either side, without prejudice to earlier dissolution by mutual agreement. In the case of ten years’ service the notice must be one of a month. §34. Workpeople leaving under regular circumstances are paid their wages on the day of leaving ; workpeople leaving without notice are paid on the next pay-day as a rule, but at earliest three days after leaving. In the event of a worker leaving without notice the town can demand as compensa tion for the day on which the contract was broken and every subsequent working-day, but at most for six days, the amount of a customary local daily wage.
