Most probably, your question pertains to shops and establishments, I think. Sick leave generally means short spells of leave taken by employees for occasional and ordinary sicknesses like cold, stomach pain, fever, etc., which require brief medical management. It is thus different from medical leave, which involves a long duration of treatment under constant medical care and supervision. For further details, please refer to my reply dated 22-11-2016 on the thread "How many days of medical leave."
Thank you.

There is no difference between sick leave and medical leave except in nomenclature. It is granted while in employment for short or long duration of sickness.
