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…
Usually in most civilized countries it’s three-days-at-once. Or more specifically over here, on the fourth day of continuously being sick, I need to see a doctor. The first two days are alright with just me telling them I’m sick.
Not sure I’d categorise us as a civilised country at the moment, but in the UK it’s a full week before your employer can ask for a note: https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave
