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…
In Britsh Columbia, Canada we get 5 Personal Emergency days as paid leave, and 3 PEL unpaid. For somebody in generally good health this is more than adequate, for somebody with health issues you would have to go to doc and get short term disability leave for extended days off
