No they didn't under the old system and won't under the new either - however it is recorded in case it becomes excessive. Thats if your back next day.

Not sure if it counts as a whole day though if you continue to be sick the next day, hopefully one of our Gurus on this can throw some light on that.

I've got over 15 years in and never done it. Felt like it plenty of times though, due to stress from 'managers'.
