Spanish term or phrase: día de carencia
Las órdenes de reposo de uno hasta tres días emitidas por la Empresa Médica Previsional autorizadas por el seguro social, conocidos como **días de carencia** no afectarán ni los días a cuenta de enfermedad, ni las vacaciones, ni los días para gestiones personales de la persona trabajadora.

El subsidio por enfermedad o accidente se calcula en base a días calendario (no días laborables). Las personas trabajadoras deberán incorporarse a sus labores al día siguiente que termine el subsidio.

Posterior a un subsidio, las asistencias a consultas médicas deberán soportarse con la constancia de atención médica respectiva. De lo contrario, se computará ese tiempo a cuenta de vacaciones.


Additional context:

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre días de reposo y días de subsidio?
En la práctica, y no en la ley, se ha venido estableciendo que el reposo es el descanso que le prescribe el médico al trabajador por un periodo no mayor de tres días. Si el descanso es de cuatro o más días, se considera subsidio.

Cuando el Seguro Social prescribe sólo tres días de descanso, no le paga nada al trabajador y éste se ve afectado, porque tampoco el empleador está en la obligación de pagárselos. Sólo cuando la incapacidad proviene de un riesgo profesional, el Seguro Social está en la obligación de pagar desde el primer día.

En la práctica los Convenios Colectivos que se firman con los empleadores supera este vacío, ya que el Convenio como es ley entre partes obliga al empleador a pagar los tres días de carencia por causa del reposo.

waiting period
Explanation:
What is the one-week waiting period?
Before you can start receiving EI benefits, there is a one-week waiting period during which you will not be paid. This waiting period is like the deductible you pay for other types of insurance.

As noted in one of the links, it could also be referred to as the "qualifying period", as it's the time required to wait before being entitled to receive benefits.

  -> It sounds a little unidiomatic IMO, the government of Canada’s website “jours de carence” appears translated as “waiting period”. It appears here, with “three-day waiting period” after. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=4aa56697-dbcb...

neutral  Reuben Wright: “Grace period” is more for AFTER a deadline or due date has passed, like an extension. Here it is the number of days necessary BEFORE entitlement. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/insurance-grace-period....

day of absence


Explanation:
In the source text describing the rules in another country (Nicaragua or Spain?), the employee may have three days absence for a medical reason. The employer is not normally obliged to pay for the absence. The employee may demand payment if he or she has a contract with the employer which stipulates such entitlements, or if the employee is absent because of a work related problem then he or she may demand a payment to cover the absence time. If the absence period extends the three days then a subsidy may be considered by the social security system.
