Why oh why would anyone "remaining on the job" require paid leave or disability assistance? I don't get it. How can they be on leave (paid or otherwise) and on the job at the same time? Additionally if they crope across the border or wriggled underneath, wouldn't they know they'd left the protections of law behind?
Say if I made a black balloon and flew over to Vladivostok one night. Landed. Paid off the authorities to work behind the gasworks (selling freesias, say) and the gasworks blew up. Well, I wasn't really there was I? Either I could step forward and be arrested for overstaying my (nonexistent) visa (which I could have gotten by applying for one but didn't) or I could go back where I came from and apply for a visa there or go somewhere else and pretend to be (or actually be) a refugee and apply for a visa there. No. I snuck in, leaving my mother's fatherland to its fate, hooked into the black economy or worked elsewhere by lying and if I wasn't lying I'd have had the benefits aforementioned.
But they did.
