In Australia those are part of your sick leave, and you get roughly 10 a year IIRC. Quite generous. At 100% wage, paid by your employer.

Your own sick leave (at 100% pay, paid by the employer) is separate and the average German employee takes 22 days of sick leave per year, up from 16 days ten years ago.

22 days seems like a lot. You guys must have better restraint over taking sick days than Australians.
