I think it’s safe to say that most full time, salaried employees in Canada are allowed to take a few days off with pay when they are sick. This is a good thing, if people come to work when they are sick they are not productive and they get everyone else sick, that can cost a company a lot of money. I currently work on contract which means I don’t have sick days, if I have to take a day off I don’t get paid.

I’m getting sick!

If I had sick days I’d go home now, sleep for 20 hours, drink lots of fluids and come to work tomorrow refreshed and hopefully not sick. Instead I am going to wait until it’s really bad. I’m gonna unintentionally pass it around to my co-workers (I hope not) and hope that I’m sick on the weekend so I don’t have to take any time off. If I had sick days I could beat this cold before it gets bad and not pass it to my co-workers. Giving one person a half day off with pay (even if they’re on contract) is a lot cheaper than giving 4 people half days off with pay, right? I’m delusional due to this cold, what do I know?
