Sick leave and own business: What are you allowed to do?

Questioner

I have been reported sick at my current employer. Now I have started my own shop. Am I allowed to work there while I have been reported sick at my permanent job?

Lawyer

If all goes well, you have reported sick because you are unable to work for your employer. If it turns out that you could have worked and your sick report is incorrect, you could get into serious trouble with your current employer. If you are really unable to work for your employer and you feel comfortable working for your own store, I would discuss this with your current employer to avoid problems.
