As a parent who had her son in an in home daycare a few months ago I'd be thinking I am able to use my sick day because it doesn't state otherwise and there is no time limits as to when you have to be notified and nothing saying they can't be used as extra vacation, snow day, etc it just states that they can't roll over into the next year and can't be used under a couple of understanable circumstances.
I'd see it like the PTO off at my former job and I can use it for any unexpected circumstances at any time without notice.
I second this. I think a lot of parents would see it as just time off they can use whenever, since often people take a "sick" day from work for various other reasons.
But if you don't want to allow it, totally call them on the oh! Sick huh? We'll see dck Monday since they won't be 24 hours symptom free. Have a great weekend
