I work at a company with unlimited sick leave and it's an absolute godsend for those who need it. Literally no one I know who works there takes the piss. In fact with working from home being a thing most wouldn't take more than 5 or so actual sick days per year.
But I've also seen someone take months of paid sick leave when their child with cancer was getting treatment. It was never questioned, and it gave me enormous respect for the place.
Yeah. I’ve had employees go through mental health episodes, families with cancer, flus, sick kids, multi-week migraines, list goes on.
Not once has the business gone “why have you approved all that sick leave?” In fact it’s been the opposite in some cases “why are you asking me this? We have unlimited sick leave”.
