(statutory) sick pay
Explanation:
This is a term I come across regulary while translating contracts and legal texts from (UK) English.

An example,

"Subject to compliance with the rules set out above, statutory sick pay will be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Social Security Contribution and Benefits Act 1992, equating to 28 weeks statutory sick pay.".

sickness benefit


Explanation:
Though this is usually simply termed "sjukersättning".
Does the addition of "avbrott" mean that it is more long term? "Benefit for long term leave due to sickness" is a little wordy. Good luck.
