§ 19861 Sick Leave Absence Rules
You get sick and miss 5 days of work in one month.
Your boss gets to decide if those 5 days count against your sick leave or not. If your work has a special rule saying you always get sick leave for short absences, that rule is followed instead—unless it costs extra money, then the government has to say it's okay.
