It is interesting to see the different work experiences that people have. Some people think that everyone cheats, others nearly the opposite. I have worked in places where people rarely missed work. It was almost more common to send someone home that was sick than it was for someone to call in sick. Most people had less than three sick days in a year. And this is in a situation where there was no defined limit in sick days.
I can think of one person that abused the situation. It was pretty obvious, but I knew I never had enough proof to do anything meaningful about it and figured nothing would come out of confronting her. If I were to tell her how I knew she was lying, she would just have gotten better at covering it up. She was actually a decent employee otherwise. I would even hire her again if the opportunity presented itself. However, she never did have my complete trust. She lost out on substantial bonuses and raises. She was compensated well, but not nearly as well as she could have been.
