German here. When I'm sick, my employer has to keep paying me based on my last paycheck for up to six weeks by law. If I'm sick for longer, my health insurance takes over at a slightly lower rate.
A former colleague of mine, who was getting up there in years and had had health issues for a while, was on paid sick leave for 18 months before his insurance provider got him to go into early retirement.
