Atestado Médico com mais de 15 dias. E agora, preciso afastar pelo INSS?

How does sick leave exceeding 15 days work? Who pays my salary until the day of the INSS (Brazilian Social Security Institute) medical examination? Am I required to take sick leave through INSS? Does a medical certificate for more than 15 days with a different ICD (International Classification of Diseases) code also qualify for sick leave? Is it worthwhile to take sick leave? How many sick leave certificates add up to qualify for INSS sick leave? Can I choose not to take sick leave through INSS? These questions are quite common in the life of a worker when they are sick and on medical leave.
