As a contractor if i don't work, I don't get paid.. but any perm role I've had
typically included around 10 days free sick leave per year and don't typically
require a medical cert unless you're off for a week or more.
Also sick leave often acrues in jobs here, so if you don't use your 10 days this
year you have 20 next etc in case of serious illness.
It really is a waste of time requiring a doctor to say you're sick.

Luckily, I'm healthy as a horse and rarely even get a cold, but, I did call in
"well" one time.
My wife and I woke up one mornin and were feelin exceptionally randy so I
suggested we extend that era of good feeling and play hooky for the day. I
called the shop and told 'em I was just feelin too damned good to make it in
that day
