the major worries about sick leave are:-

1. the employer can and (personal experience) often does... just to "see how you are doing." i mean there is no law against it. that would stress me out BIGTIME.

2. if it goes through the state, they have a right to send someone to verify your presence at your home during 2 2-hour time frames each day, without notice. as a sickie, you are supposed to be there. right now, i'm a home body anyway. but once i am up to it, getting out would be good for me. however, from where i live, it is impossible to go too far (eg bus to city, do something there) if i have to run back home for 2 hours in the morning, and 2 more in the afternoon! talk about STRESS!!!

i don't believe either can be avoided. i will ask both docs about #2.
