My other half is a teacher and they get so many "sick days" a year, like you suggest Mr.James... she has only had about 3 in the last 5 years, but some of the staff abuse it something rotten. One of her support staff takes days here there and everywhere and always comes in after her quota of freebies has gone.
If there was a "sick bank" as such, there should be a financial reward come the end of the year. If you've not taken any days you should get paid for the days left in your "sick bank" as extra as a reward for being a good honest employee and not a work dodging scruffbag!
Also, Blaggard you are right. As a person working with and serving the general public I think it should be enforced for staff to be off without fear of retribution because it ain't nice having someone talking to you etc when they are coughing germs all around.
