My company offers 3 days of unjustified sick leave for things like colds or minor health issues that don’t really require seeing a doctor.
And sure enough, that guy - always that guy - got sick on Monday, then took a day off on Thursday, and now he’s sick again on Friday. Strangely, his company car reports being at a ski resort 200 miles away.
Because you know, when you’re bedridden, at least you should have a nice view out the window…
Right, but what I’m saying is employees shouldn’t have to justify or provide a reason/proof that they are sick. If there is a set number of paid sick leaves provided, then let them use it. If they use it to take a vacation then have to take unpaid leave when they actually get sick, that’s on them.
In the country I am in there is no set number of sick leave days. With most companies it is 2-3 days in a row without a doctors note and if longer you need a note.
What I always wonder, in countries with a set number of sick leave days, what do people do when they used all up and are still sick? I mean you can hardly go to work with Influenza or Corona or so, or?
