Sick pay/sick day laws seems to be up to state regs. All I see federally is the FMLA which has nothing to to with taking off for a cold or 1 hr off for 40 hrs worked and doesn't require pay at all, just the guarantee you'll have a job when you return.
As far as I know, there is no Federal law that reqiires employers to provide any paid sick leave to employees. The FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) was signed into law by President Clinton in 1993. It allows employees to take up to 12 weeks off for medical purposes, but this is unpaid leave.
