I get 2 weeks of personal/sick time a year. I've found that mental health days are a good preventative for me to make sure I keep myself healthy so I DON'T end up out of the office for days at a time due to illness.
I've called off by leaving early occasionally on days where I know I just need to get home and into bed. By taking care of it early, I'm back the next day, instead of working through it and driving my body into the ground.
As a manager.. I prefer my team actually stay home when they are sick. Just because you are physically present doesn't mean your quality of work won't suffer. Often times their work performance dips low enough that it actually would have been better if that day's work just had not been done to begin with.
