Let’s see how that one goes.
People can still work while sick in a lot of cases, but making it compulsory to do so probably isn’t even legal.

I don’t know how you write that as a policy and even if written down it would be impossible to enforce. It’s the same reason you can’t get rid of someone for taking to many sick days. So don’t see a change in the risk of abuse /employer over reach as the old sick day arrangement.
Essentially unless you are posting pictures from Hawaii on your sick days regardless of WHF policies you won’t get disciplined for it. A worker who routinely abuses sick days such that it is an issue worth writing someone up for is likely a worker who has plenty of reasons to be written up
