The paper addresses the problem of sick leave in the hotel industry. It was hypothesized that there would be a tendency for granted sick leaves to include weekends, thus imposing an additional financial burden on the hotel in question. A total of 401 medical certificates from a large city hotel were reviewed. According to these certificates one third of the patients regained their health between Sunday and Monday. Of the patients with "short" sick leaves (less than a fortnight), 40% recovered between Sunday and Monday. The average duration of the sick leave for this group was 1.3 days longer than that of the patients whose sick leaves ended on other days of the week. The results are discussed in terms of the ambiguous position of the medical practitioner.
本文探讨了酒店行业的病假问题。研究假设是，获批的病假往往会包含周末，从而给相关酒店带来额外的经济负担。对来自一家大城市酒店的401份医疗证明进行了审查。根据这些证明，三分之一的患者在周日至周一期间康复。在“短期”病假（少于两周）的患者中，40%在周日至周一期间康复。该组病假的平均时长比病假在一周其他日子结束的患者长1.3天。根据医生的模糊立场对结果进行了讨论。
