>>FWIW, generous policies lead to weird distortions. In at least one country, annual paid sick leave (separate from other leave entitlement) recently went from 5 days to 10 days annually. More than a few firms reported that workforce sickness suddenly doubled as well, with many workers reporting sick up to 100% of their paid sick leave entitlement but not a second over. ;-)

And then there are the people who have to be practically dead to take a day off. When my mother retired from teaching, she had a tremendous bank of unused days for which she was then paid (can't remember if it was 100% or something less). I think she may have had about a year's worths of unused sick/personal days.
