Do you or do you not give sick leave to your employees? If an employee has the flu, you do not want him to come to work and spread it to others, do you? That would be counter-productive to productivity. Does that employee stay home with pay or without pay?

Boy, I am sorry buggyone for taking your thread so far off subject, my fault.
I do have sick leave but that is off of my point. I am all FOR using sick leave if you are SICK. No I don't want anybody to come to work sick. Funny that I have not needed a sick day in years, lucky I guess.
I think people should come to work and work for their pay and not for their sick leave.
I don't like the practice of a business using sick leave as a vacation/retirement benefit. If it is vacation you want, earn it, if it is sick leave you need, use it but one is not the other. If you need more time than that then take leave without pay.
I pay my employees market wages for my business which is a architectural home design firm which I started 30 years ago.
I employ anywhere from 4 to 6 people, plus my wife who is my partner and office manager. Hardly a large business but never laid anybody off and always made payroll for thirty years.
If I got paid for my sick days not used over the last thirty years I could quit today. Maybe I am the one who lost out!
