At an average salary of € 2000 a month, a sick person costs appr. € 161,- a day (incl. incidental wage costs but without treatment costs) This does not include the training and working costs of a person doing the work instead of the sick person).

Computational basis: Monthly salary: € 2000.-. This leads to annual costs of € 36,114.- (incl. employer shares and 13th and 14th salaries). For an employee of 38.5 hours, the cost rate amounts to € 161.- a day.
