MC versus Hospitalization leave

I didn't realise that hospitalization leave covers weekends and public holidays. I'd always assumed that hospitalization leave meant you had to be in the hospital and I was in for 1 day only.

I received my Medical Certificate on 28 Nov when I was discharged and on it stated that it is valid from 27 Nov to 12 Dec. I didn't really study it closely and just submitted it to office. It was the HR lady who called me to explain that the Medical Certificate was actually all hospitalization leave and that it would be 16 days. My company provides 14 days of MC and 60 days of hospitalization leave and I was supposed to change what I thought was the MC that I applied to 16 days of hospitalization leave. The HR lady explained that there was a tick at the box that indicated hospitalization leave. Guess I missed that.

Oh, and I asked about radiation therapy. Yes, there's an entitlement to excuse sheet, MC or hospitalization leave. I'll have to request for it as it's not given as a default. I'll 'save' it for now since I'm feeling ok and it's only the first treatment.
