Can an employer terminate an employee while on sick leave?

No. The law strictly prohibits terminating an employee on certified sick leave before exhaustively completing the statutory 10-week allowance.

How is the daily wage calculated for sick leave tiers?

The gross monthly salary is divided by 30 calendar days to establish the base daily wage, which is then multiplied by the applicable tier percentage.
