I'm assuming you also don't work in a prison and that the stress of your job isn't nearly as high as that of people looking after violent inmates who are living in close quarters in which it is well known that rates of illness are significantly higher.
I am actually impressed with someone who has built up 402 days of sick leave as it says in the Macleans article, if it is true that they get 15 days of sick leave a year and it builds up, that means that the employee has worked every single day in a physically demanding job for the past 27 years without taking a single sick day.
People will take the sick time either way - if someone knows they can't bank it for future years then I am sure there will be more people taking sick days for less urgent reasons. There is no motivation to not use those sick days otherwise other than the good of their hearts.
