Julia is being allowed to take on the "sick role," as described by sociologist Talcott Parsons. This is a temporary role of being exempt from normal social obligations and responsibilities due to an illness or injury. By allowing Julia to take on this role, her manager and husband are acknowledging her condition and the need for her to focus on recovering without the additional stress of household chores or work duties.
