The most persuasive argument is that the chance for people to spread flu

I worked for a company that offered 6 months full pay for sickness and
that didn't stop the spread colds and flu around the office/factory -
possibly because it is already passed on before full symptoms appear.

12 months full pay at a place I worked. Didn't stop people coming in and
spreading whatever they had in our open offices.

It was the sort of job (college teacher) where the work generated by being off
sick made it not straightforward. I had 3 colds 19/20 xmas.
