As it is, I feel sick days are abused to the extreme already. Where I work, we get five paid sick days a year. In the event you do not use them, they roll over to the next year and once a certain amount is accrued, the company buys them back. At no time over the last twenty years have I ever used more than two days a year. I also know many women who I work with that never miss work. I would have to assume that these women menstruate as much as Austrailian women. On the other hand I work with some men who use all five days every year plus some for what I feel are lame ass excuses. What ever happened to personal responsibility?
Expecting an employer to pay a person for something that people have had to deal with since the beginning of time is senseless. It is also another example of society feeling it has to hang on the teat of something be it the government or business. I'd hate to work in an evironment where everyone was more concerned with designing ways to make the employer hand them more than a paycheck that was earned through hard work than actually being productive and a benefit to society.
