Alternately, it incentivizes coming in sick and making your co-workers sick.
As an epidemiologist, I hate policies that allow sick days to be converted into something of value, or that put's restrictions in them.
- c0vfefe 7y agoI understand hating that from a health perspective, but for a profit-driven entity there's no resolving this issue without compromise. Sick time will always get abused by someone, so you might as well provide some incentive to not abuse it.
- Fomite 7y agoThat's one possibility. But there's also the possibility that encouraging presenteeism (which is what incentivizing hoarding sick days is) results in a net loss of productivity as sick employees both half-ass their work and also get their coworkers sick. Which a profit-driven entity should care about.
