    When there are other reasons for calling in 'sick' - By Matt Carroll, The Boston Globe
    Some towns have adopted innovative programs. In Dedham , for instance, union workers and town officials negotiated a new contract for the Department of Public Works designed to curb abuse of sick time. The program wraps all sick and vacation days into one package and allows employees to use the time any way they want. The responsibility is theirs to make sure they don't use too many days for vacation and leave themselves short if they sustain a serious illness.
