View submission: what does this salary mean per year?
The normal Austrian is 16 (work days) sick, but u have unlimited. When u are sick u are sick. U get still paid. After six weeks (long term sick leave) the health insurance kicks in .

It's not unlimited; After the 6 weeks you're in Krankengeld (which is less than your salary), and after 52 weeks of Krankengeld this is also gone. But that's a limit that is not easy to reach (also because ÖGK has little interest in you being on sick leave that long, the Kontrollärzte can be real dicks and just say you're able to work again, no matter the reality)
