[Work incapacity in protracted illness--1: Continuation of employment].
The definition of "disablement" of an employee is discussed in detail, first of all from the legal viewpoint of labour legislation in respect of the claim to continuing payment of wages, and secondly from the viewpoint of German compulsory sickness insurance in respect of sickness compensation. The rule of thumb says that the demands made on the employee in respect of performance in connection with the job he had when he fell ill, govern the concept of disablement. If the individual continues to be employed, these demands are decisive and crucial, an exception being if the employee can be transferred to another job in the same plant.
