Insurance for World Cup “sick days”
This insurance is for employers only 
and it’s not in Malaysia. This is from Holland. Under Dutch law, companies must pay employees who are too ill to report to work.
During the European 2004 championship, thousands of dutch called in sick whenever their national team played. The statistics showed that absenteeism due to health problems rose 20% on match days. However the report didn’t indicate if there was a sudden rise on the day when their team was knocked out of the tournament.
Most of the current insurance policies covers for absences more than 2 weeks.
SEZ said it would waive the usual two-week time limit and pay out for any employees absent on the day of a Netherlands match or the day after, regardless of the excuse given.
“Obviously nobody will phone in and say they’re ill because they want to watch the match or because they drank too much.”
