This! My HR guy (he isn't exactly a manager or boss) even encourages sick days for mental health or if you're just feeling a bit iffy. The gain in productivity and happiness is actually worth it for the company. Plus part of the pay for sick days is actually covered by health insurance afaik, so financially it's not really a problem for the employer.

At least here in germany, the employer is fully reimbursed for the pay of sick days. Although, if you are sick for more than 6 weeks, your employer stops paying altogether and the insurance directly pays you about 70-90% of your regular pay.
