Some companies operate the statutory sick pay, but I have never worked anywhere that did.  The sick leave allowance that my company offers is generous and rises with length of service.  We have a certain length of time at full pay followed by a certain period at half-pay.

I take little sick leave - four days in three years - and only if it is serious.  We do have employees who "always" seem to be off sick.  I am rather suspicious of lots of odd sick days, especially Fridays and Mondays.  However, i think people should take sick leave if they need it and a lot depends upon the environment in which they work.  I spent many years in health care, and we were required to take sick leave if we had so much as a cold because of the risk to patients.
