    It’s getting dangeous once you accumulate more than 6 weeks of sick days

    No, it just means the health insurance starts paying your salary, and you’ll get less money. But for your employer it’s actually better, because they don’t have to pay you anymore.

      That’s only true for 6 consecutive weeks of sickness.

      One of the prerequisites to fire someone for sickness is that they are sick “often” and there’s no improvement to be expected. That’s a soft limit but if you’re sick for 6 accumulated weeks for a number of consecutive years, that box is pretty clearly checked because it’s twice the average of sick days in Germany.
