If you get sick these are good. If you don’t, most employees will just use them as more vacation time.

You can bet they will be used up, sick or not.

Yup. And I know several companies that have just combined all their sick, vacation, etc etc. into just plain pto. ONe of my buddies used to have 10 vac, 5 sick days. now he just gets I think 13 pto days.
