Hi,
This is a genuine problem faced by many organizations. As per my understanding, it's not the right of the employees to take sick leave on or before December 31. We can take the following steps to stop bad practices:
1. To create awareness among the employees that genuine sick leave should be taken.
2. Convert sick leave to earned leave.
3. It is proposed to provide a small incentive to those who take fewer sick days.
4. If any false documents are submitted by the employees, issue a warning or take disciplinary action.

Misuse of sick leaves refers to taking time off from work for reasons other than genuine illness. It can result in decreased productivity and increased costs for the company. To prevent this, companies may implement policies such as requiring a doctor's note or prior approval for taking a sick day. Additionally, regular attendance and performance evaluations can be used to identify and address any patterns of abuse.
Here are a few ways to stop the misuse of sick leaves:
1. Clear policies: Clearly defined and communicated policies can help prevent employees from misusing sick leave.
2. Verification procedures: Requiring a doctor's note or verifying the reason for absence can discourage employees from taking time off for non-medical reasons.
3. Flexible leave options: Offering alternative leave options such as paid time off or personal days can reduce the incentive to misuse sick leave.
4. Employee education: Regular training and education on the company's attendance and leave policies can help employees understand the consequences of misusing sick leave.
5. Monitoring and reporting: Regular monitoring and reporting of attendance and leave patterns can help identify and address any misuse.
6. Progressive discipline: Establishing a progressive disciplinary process for repeated misuse of sick leave can serve as a deterrent and provide a clear understanding of the consequences.
7. Encouraging open communication: Encouraging open communication between employees and managers can help resolve any issues and prevent misuses of sick leave.
