While I'm not a fan of this approach, sick leave abuse is a common issue. While I've never seen actual studies to back that up, anecdotally I've seen it a lot.

My employer had to institute a policy that if you take sick leave on the work day immediately before or after a holiday, you need to bring a doctors note to receive the holiday pay. They did this because it was common practice to call in sick on Friday when Monday was a holiday, turning a three day weekend into a four day weekend.
- rbobby 10y ago> sick leave abuse is a common issue Reminds me of a legal case in Ontario. Guy was fired for calling in sick in advance. He said he would be attending a wedding, or maybe a bachelor party, and would "be too hungover to come in" the following day. The court sided with the guy that got fired. Recovering from a hangover, even a scheduled one, must be treated as a sick day... and you can't fire someone for taking a sick day.
