At my current job they separate everything out. you get 1 day of sick time per month (or so) + whatever vacation time (2 wks per year currently) + legal holidays etc. And they have to be tracked separately. For people who are never sick it's like not getting full benefits imo. I don't have kids (sick days can be used for that) so I sort of feel it's my right to take off if I'm feeling a bit under the weather (even if I could go to work and spread germs around ).
