If I submit a self-declaration of 3 days due to illness, will I still get paid?  

Currently, short-term medical absences up to three days can be justified without the need for a medical consultation, simply by issuing a self-declaration in the SNS 24 portal, in the respective application, or through the Health 24 line.  

However, DECO PROTeste reminds that this justification can only be used twice a year and these absences are not paid.

How does self-declaration of illness work?  

"The legislation establishes that each worker can present a maximum of two annual justifications issued by SNS 24. Each of these may cover up to three consecutive days of absence. In total, a worker can justify up to six days of absence per year through this system," clarifies the consumer defense organization.

Are justified absences with self-declaration paid?

"The answer is no. Just like with sick leaves of up to three days, absences justified based on self-declaration via SNS 24 do not entitle to sickness benefits. However, some companies choose to ensure salary payment in these cases. The decision to pay for these absences lies solely with the employer," explains DECO PROTeste.

How to notify the employer?  

To notify the company about absence due to illness, it is necessary to provide the access code received via SMS or email after submitting the self-declaration on the SNS 24 portal.

The employer can confirm the authenticity of the document through the validation platform of the self-declaration, available on the SNS 24 portal, concludes DECO PROTeste.
