Convalescence Pay

An extension order signed last week increases convalescence pay for private sector employees by 8%. Those who have already received their 2026 payment may be entitled to a retroactive adjustment.

You celebrated too early: the Minister of Labor has not yet signed the extension order, and upcoming convalescence pay will be paid at the old rate. When will you see the increase, what are you entitled to based on seniority, and which measure from the previous two years has been completely canceled? We set the record straight.
