I guess labor laws are different in Illinois & PA. If I get sent home here, I only get paid for the time I work, if it's over 15 minutes, unless I use PTO. I don't have any dedicated 'sick time', it's all PTO.
By the same token, if I don't feel well, I don't even bother going to work. I just call the boss & let him know I'm not coming in. The biggest problem with our labor system is 'positional leaders' that threaten people with losing their job if they don't show up for work when they don't feel good. I've had to work for people like that since I left the military and I've had to tell everyone of them, 'Fine, fire me. I'll get a lawyer and I'll have your job'. That tends to end that silliness.
