  "account": "Bundesarbeitsministerin Bärbel Bas has expressed reservations about the coalition's plan to introduce an obligation for early reporting of sickness absence, according to the Funke Mediengruppe. She questioned the necessity of such a measure, suggesting that exceptions could be made for tariff-bound companies. The Social Democratic Party's faction leader, Marc Biadacz, emphasized that the coalition has taken a firm stance on modernizing Germany and implementing essential reforms to the social system, including the new rule for early reporting of sickness absence.",
  "summary": "Die geplante Pflicht zur Krankschreibung ab dem ersten Tag geht auf einen Wunsch der Union zurück. Arbeitsministerin Bas äußert Zweifel am Sinn der Regelung und eckt damit beim Koalitionspartner an.",
