As always, the number of people gaming the system is a fraction of the number you think. The cost of policing and productivity because more people are sick working at lower productivity is all much worse than having separate days.
“Some incentive” he says dismissively. Every study shows there’s a fairly strong incentive to work sick. People always do what benefits them the most. It’s a law of nature. If they can work at 40%, still get paid for 8 hours, and get a vacation day, they will. They will also get others sick and now you have multiple people working at 40% instead of losing a single person for a day or two.
