Sick leave is an essential benefit in the employee's compensation package. It allows an employee who cannot work due to sickness or accidental injury to continue receiving his or her salary uninterrupted. Although sick leave was originally designed as a privilege and not as an entitlement, over time this benefit has come to be expected in the fringe benefit.

The majority of employees use sick leave in the manner in which it is intended. Normal use of sick leave is considered in developing the company’s budget and the manpower deployment and scheduling program.

It is the abuse of sick leave by a few employees that creates problems for many company’s. The few employees who use sick time in a manner that violates the agency's policy or collective bargaining agreement hurts the entire organization-its management, it’s other employees.
