What kind of company doesn't insure against sickness of their employees? When I mentioned I was sick a lot, my boss at the time laughed and told me the company gets an insurance payment if I'm out, so not to worry. Fyi, I'm in Europe.

This is not common in small/medium size businesses (no clue about large ones).

Usually there will be a life insurance policy, but that's just in the case of death
