sick days
Paid recovery time
Sick days are days of paid leave an employee may take when ill, typically allotted annually by an employer: I've used up all my sick days this year.
The term implies legitimate absence due to illness, though people sometimes take sick days for other reasons—hence mental health day as a euphemism for using sick time to decompress rather than recover from physical illness.
