Oklahoma governor signs ban on minimum wage increases

Austria does have a rule of tree days sick without medical certificate, except if it's a friday you are calling in sick, then you have to get the certificate...
But then, our visits to a doctor are free of charge...

Sick employees will usually be sent home by their supervisors in order to not cause an epidemic at work, too.

On sick days. . . .
I was speaking to a girl working at a check out at a grocery store telling me that if you take a day off because you are sick (without pay), you get written up unless you have a note from a doctor.
According to what I understand, when you are sick, the best way to keep it from spreading is to basically stay home.
Now, a store clerk is exposed to both the other staff and customers.
Effectively, the management is promoting getting the public sick

That's also the case in my workplace (although a sick day is paid). Of course, we don't have to pay for a GP visit, either. If you only need one day, you can actually phone the clinic and your doctor will fill out a certificate (assuming, presumably, your described symptoms don't indicate somthing serious); I assume this is in part to avoid congestion in the clinic and in part to avoid your coming in sick and sitting around the clinic for an hour next to other sick people for a cold.

That is a very different dynamic - both because you get and because your medical care is covered
