As a German I find the concept of "allotted sick days" disturbing.

What if I told you that it usually also takes away from your vacation days?

So if you get sick too often, no vacation for you that year.

That’s sick (pun intended). Over here it’s the other way around: When we get sick during a vacation, we get the vacation days back.

Although, at least in my field of work, it's a bit frowned upon to actually get your vacation days back when you get sick.

It really shouldn't. My company has reprimanded people for not responding their vacation days. The law is very clear on this and courts have stated as well: vacations are meant for recovering your energy. Healing from an illness does not allow you to recover from work, so you must be granted that time again.

Only a refreshed worker is a productive worker.
