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...

My company, which is pretty generous (by US standards) gives us 8 paid sick days per year. Up until this year we got unlimited after that with a doctors note (unpaid, bit you wouldn't get fired for it.) This year they stopped accepting doctor notes, so if you rub out of sick time, tough shit. BUT if you're out for over a week, FMLA or disability or some shit like that kicks in, and there ain't fuck all they can do about it lol. And THAT shit is paid. I have a feeling they're gonna rethink the doctors note thing next year lol.
