How to use "Sick leave" in context?

Sick leave is a policy in many workplaces that allows employees to take time off for illnesses or injuries. In some cases, sick leave may be converted to disability leave. Sick leave is usually accrued at the rate of one day for every thirty days of service, with a minimum of four days.

Employers may require employees to provide a doctor's note or other documentation to qualify for sick leave. Employees may also be able to use sick leave for personal illness or injury, as long as the illness or injury is not work-related.
