I think you will find that you get the point when you call out and do not use, or have, sick time. The point of it is to be able to weed out the losers who consistently call out, usually for reasons other than sickness. Where I worked, you got a point if you didn’t cover at least 50% of your missed time with sick pay. The point dropped off after a period of time.

I think it’s about as fair a system as you could have.
