The answer

The employment contract specifies whether the teacher has the right to receive wages for the day they were absent due to illness. If the contract stipulates their entitlement to wages on sick days, then they are entitled to them. Otherwise, they are not entitled to them unless the employer voluntarily grants it. This is in accordance with what is stated in the code that an employee is not entitled to wages for their sick days; rather, their wage is reduced by the duration of their illness. Thus, the contract is the law between the contracting parties, and what the employer willingly gives in the event the teacher is not entitled to wages is also considered.
