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...

OP probably meant that they are days you don't need to justify (doctors note) to your manager.

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?
