as a business owner - have you ever had the occasion to offer your employees some sort of incentive to improve their performance, a safety record, increased production - or do your employees just get paid every day for showing up?

Yes, I give a bonus twice a year. That has nothing to do with sick leave pay or saving it up to be cashed in at a later date.
Did you look at your job as just showing up, I hope not. The benefit to the employee is to be EMPLOYED, not what can I get out of it.
If they increase their production I will give them a bonus, take them to diner, give them a day off, my choice. Sick leave is used as leverage to get something from the employer without doing anything.
If your sick, then take the days, if you are not sick good for you, come to work and do good work and "I" will give you the bonus not you take it.
And no, I pay my employees for the work they do not for showing up. If they do not want to show up then there are others that do.
