We don't get sick leave per say.  We have 20 paid time off days which we can take in 1/2 day units.
If for some reason you don't take all your PTO it rolls into Sick Bank.  You have to be out two days PTO before you can use Sick Bank.  If you leave the company, you don't get paid for Sick Bank hours. 

People here come in sick all the time to save PTO for vacation and bring their sick kids to work but that is another issue.  I have to be very ill or contacious not to come to work, but I'm a fairly healthy puppy. As for the person who comes in with more than sniffles or sinus - take your germ fest home!  I think managers should make a command decision and send people home, but they never do.  It's a double edged sword if you take too many sick days you're in the dog house, if you come to work sick, your co-workers get mad.
