OP probably meant that they are days you don’t need to justify (doctors note) to your manager.

I didn’t even know “unjustified sick leave” is a thing. It should just be are you sick or not, no other questions.

Right, but what I’m saying is employees shouldn’t have to justify or provide a reason/proof that they are sick. If there is a set number of paid sick leaves provided, then let them use it. If they use it to take a vacation then have to take unpaid leave when they actually get sick, that’s on them.

In the country I am in there is no set number of sick leave days. With most companies it is 2-3 days in a row without a doctors note and if longer you need a note. What I always wonder, in countries with a set number of sick leave days, what do people do when they used all up and are still sick? I mean ilyou can hardly go to work with Influenza or Corona or so, or?

I take my regular leave, or do leave without pay at that point. There was special leave for covid, not sure if it still exists though, and it might have been company specific.

I maintain millions of dollars worth of equipment and company data, yet you don’t trust me when I say I’m sick!?
I had a violent gastro thing, vomiting and diarrhoea for two days, I could barely walk. When I called in on the third day, the boss demanded a doctor’s certificate. On being told that I couldn’t safely drive to the doctor, he asked “How will I know that you’re really sick?”. I sent him a photo of the contents of the toilet. He didn’t ask again, and never mentioned it again.
