Thus, the doctor's prescribed exemption from work applies to all jobs where the patient is employed. As explained in the department, otherwise the employee will receive an additional financial incentive to abuse the right to take sick leave.

"At the same time, non—compliance with the treatment regimen determined by the doctor can negatively affect the recovery process, and going to work without discharge is one of the violations of the conditions of medical care," the Social Fund added.
