Well AM I was IWA before IAM and we CHOSE not to have sick days but instead negotiated GREAT medical as a whole. Paid sick leave is a very abused item and my wife would build to the max then sell it back or loose it. In my case if sick call in sick, after three days they wanted a Doc's verification but no problem. We all preferred the almost ZERO co-pay or dependant charges with eye and full dental over sick days.
