sick day noun [C]. âº a day for which an âemployee âreceives âpay while âabsent from âwork because of âillness. (Definition of sick day from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary Â© Cambridge University Press).
Most companies allocate only a certain number of days for sick leave and personal time. For example, in a calendar year an employee could have five sick days and three personal days. If the employee fails to use them all in the given amount of time, the company must decide whether to allow employees to roll them over (that is, add or bank them to the number of sick days for the following year).
