Depends on whether you are the boss or the employee.

Its unlikely to help either much other than perhaps creating a slightly reduced chance to catch some illness at work.

I've always found that if the other employers in the area were giving both paid sick leave and a higher base, my employer had to keep up, or lose staff.

Higher is relative.

Lets say they where paying X. Now the market in the area and/or for that skill is tight, and they pay 1.25 x and paid sick leave. If they didn't pay the sick leave they might instead have paid 1.28x or 1.3x or whatever. So sure our getting higher base pay then before and paid sick leave, but your getting lower base pay then you otherwise would have had, in exchange for that sick leave.
