I work for a very large corporation and we don't have sick days. You can call in sick and get paid (eventually they dock your pay they say). No handbook that talks about personal calls, emails, internet use, cell phones. Granted it's nice not to be micromanaged but people take advantage. One of my coworkers and I have been here for several years and have never called in but another employee uses every excuse to be out and then we have to cover all of her work. You have the option to work from home but when she has a cold she won't even do that. Just calls in. Shouldn't there be some sort of sick day policy?
