Medical certificate from day one in case of illness, higher tax on higher earnings; Why is Germany changing the rules?

If you work in Germany, your health has suddenly deteriorated, then if you inform about it through call or message, you may not get leave. Actually, the German government is going to bring strict reforms in workplace rules and holidays.
