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…

    In parts of Europa IT is common to have three days you can just call in sick without providing a slip from a physician. After those Initial three days you need to see a doctor. But if you want to “game the System” you can call in sick for three days, Show up one day and then leave for three days again.

      Though one should note that beyond a certain number of days - varies by country - your company can then require you to immediately get medical attestation for further sick days, and also they can require a second opinion from another doctor they get to pick.
