Well, I guess I'm going to be the odd person here! We have a very generous sick policy (1 day a month - 12 a year - and they accumulate if you don't use them to up to 90 sick days!). I have fortunately been fairly healthy, except for the odd cold or so, so if I am sick I stay home. Actually this is one of my pet peeves. Because we do have such a generous policy and because there is not really anyone here who is indispensable for a day or two, I get kind of ticked when people insist on coming in sick and spreading their germs to me. I have elderly parents and really try not to take anything home to them. It angers me that other people jeopardize my family just because they have this desire to prove the place cannot run without them (I assure you it can!).
Now, I'm not saying anything against anyone here or trying to start anything. I am only stating the way it is here at my place. There is nothing that anyone on the admin staff does that is so special that someone else can't step in for a day or two.
