Coffee Curing Works
Workers at the curing works hull, sort and grade beans in dusty sheds from December to March. Coughs, itchy eyes and back strain are common. Workers covered by ESI need an ESI doctor's certificate for sickness benefit. For ordinary proof of illness, ask your supervisor.
Sringeri and Horanadu Temple Towns
Cooks, lodge staff and shopkeepers at Sringeri and Horanadu serve pilgrims every day, with big crowds at Navaratri. Kitchen workers with a stomach infection should rest until they're completely well.
Ghat Bus Crews
Drivers and conductors on the private bus routes through Mudigere, Kalasa and Kottigehara handle wet hairpin bends for hours. Drivers renewing a commercial licence or turning 40 need Form 1A, which has its own page for Karnataka.
Arecanut Farms
Arecanut growers around Koppa and N.R. Pura spray, harvest and dry the nuts on steep, slippery land. Falls from trees need a doctor in person. For a fever, a buyer or cooperative may want a certificate.
Offices, Banks and Teachers
Staff at coffee trading offices, banks and private schools usually need a note after a day or two off. Karnataka government staff and teachers should check their department's leave rules first.
