What are the main causes of sick leave in Hesse, and how have these causes changed between 2023 and 2024?

The decrease in Hesse's sickness rate follows a significant rise in 2022, attributed to the implementation of electronic transmission of medical certificates. The minimal change since then suggests that the initial surge was primarily due to procedural changes, rather than a sustained increase in employee absenteeism. Data from a Forsa survey indicates that 53 percent of employees in Hesse obtain medical certificates for each sick leave, despite most employers only requiring them after a certain period.
