It occurs to me that you might think SL has to be advantageous for employee and employer. That's hilarious.

"It'll certainly help the worker who calls in cuz the kids are the ones who are actually sick."
"Not certainly at all. If they didn't get paid sick leave and they took those days off, then they would lose some money"

That's also hilarious. Yes; preserving income is the whole point.

"If people where idealized perfect calculators and negotiators then the dollars in their base they give up to get pay for their sick leave would be almost exactly equal to what they gain from not having to have unpaid days when they are sick"

That's a nice theory. Too bad life doesn't work that way. Nobody wants to see one whole day gone from their check, let alone 3 or 4, and the part of the labor force living from check to pay check can't afford it. (Oh, but they could if the base was higher.... lmao).
