Here, you are awarded 6 days (I think) per year, paid sick leave. Any more than 2 days in a row will (usually) require a doctors certificate. What get's up my nose, is the lack of incentive for not taking "sickies", and those that habitually take them on Mondays or Fridays, thus making a long weekend of it. In 10 years at my last job, I had about 6 days off, 3 of which were spent in hospital............. no rewards, no thanks, not even an acknowledgement. Now, If I'm sick enough, I stay home. They don't hand out medals for killing yourself at work.
