You can't bank sick days or cash them out when you retire so I tend to use my days.
You also don't get any type of reward or bonus for not calling in sick. I don't think your allowed to award for attendance? Could be wrong though, but anyway I never missed a day for 2 years and now I use them. I treat them like extra vacation days. I am a cyclist, the sun is shining, no winds and a beautiful day? Cough Cough I am calling in and going for a ride. Do some yard work that afternoon maybe.
I try and save them for when I am stressed. I feel guilty some days but it is not like I split atoms at work (account manager).
You get 10 days a year, paid. I try and save 5 from September on in case I really got sick. But come November if the sun is out and the winds are low I'll be out riding. Cough Cough.
