The catch, however, was that, if you used any, it was counted as an “incident”. Three incidents in a calendar year meant you were subject to discipline, up to and including termination.

Their reasoning was that sick time was for really bad illnesses that might keep you at home for a week or more. Otherwise you were expected to be in your seat at work.

Also, this company did NOT allow us to work from home for ANY reason. They were strictly butt-in-the-seats, if-I-can’t-see-you-you-must-not-be-working.
