Checking SGK sick leave reports via e‑Devlet allows employed individuals to quickly access official report records that document inability to work for health reasons. This service simplifies tracking documents digitally and provides an up-to-date, verifiable source for correspondence with employers or institutions.
Illness or accidents can cause unexpected interruptions in life. Sick leave reports issued during these periods are recorded in the SGK system and become accessible via e‑Devlet. Users can view the report’s start and end dates, the number of days of rest granted, daily income loss information, and more on a single screen. Below we explain how the system works, the steps to follow, reasons why information may not appear, and frequently asked questions in detail.
What is an SGK sick leave report?
A sick leave report is an official entitlement issued by a doctor for employees experiencing health problems. The report permits the person to pause work and enables a temporary payment from SGK. SGK sick leave reports typically include the incapacity to work status, the report period, the issuing health institution, the physician, and the date the report was recorded in the SGK system.
- Start and end dates: Shows how many days of sick leave were granted.
- Issuing health institution: For example, hospital or family physician.
- Physician information: The doctor who signed the report.
- SGK record date: The date the report was processed by SGK.
- Degree of incapacity: Indicates full or partial inability to work.
These details are important so employers can manage leave or sick leave processes and SGK can initiate social security payments. Reports transferred from SGK to e‑Devlet hold official document status.

Why doesn’t the sick leave report appear on e‑Devlet?
A sick leave report not appearing on e‑Devlet is an issue some users encounter. It can result from the report not yet being processed into the system, a technical problem, or the report not having reached SGK yet.
Possible reasons the report details are not visible:
- The report may not yet be processed into the SGK system: Reports issued by hospitals or family physicians are usually transmitted to SGK within a few days. This period can sometimes take 3–5 days.
- Incomplete or incorrect entry by the issuer: If the doctor entered the report incompletely or incorrectly, it might not appear in the system.
- Temporary system load or maintenance: Temporary issues in the e‑Devlet or SGK infrastructure can restrict access.
- Incorrect query steps were followed: Searching under the wrong insurance branch (for example 4B instead of 4A) can lead to no results.
What should you do?
- Wait 1–2 days and try the query again.
- Contact the health institution that issued the report.
- Apply to the provincial SGK directorate to have system records checked.
- Call the Alo 170 helpline for support.
This issue may be temporary. If you are sure the report has been approved, checking e‑Devlet again every few days is often sufficient.
Does an SGK sick leave report result in payment?
An SGK sick leave report not only grants the right to rest but also can entitle eligible employees to a temporary incapacity to work allowance. Commonly known as “sick pay,” this allowance compensates for days when the employee cannot work.
Conditions to receive sick pay:
- At least 90 days of paid insurance premiums within the last year.
- The report must be based on a valid reason such as work accident, illness, or maternity.
- The report must be reported to SGK by the employer in a timely manner.
- SGK must approve the report.
Payment details:
- The payment amount is calculated based on the employee’s daily gross earnings.
- No payment is made for the first two days (in illness reports).
- If the report period exceeds three days, payments start from the third day onward.
- Payments are usually made via PTT or sent to a registered bank account.
Through e‑Devlet you can not only view the report details but also query the “incapacity to work payment”. This lets you see whether the payment was made, its amount, and the payment date.
