Accumulated sick eave is not paid out when any termination event occurs. This is a known amongst employees, and some will see that in order to "redeem" some of this leave, and a doctors certificate will be sought as it is a requirement to access this leave.The stress from the imminent closure might be considered enough reason for doctors to issue one, but of course, that's up to them.

It's the cost of doing business.

I would rather those that are suffering deeply from this stress, be not working on aircraft on which others are to fly.

Accumulated sick leave is a liability that bean counters hope is never paid out and this apparent "dangling carrot" is just an attempt to limit the pay out.
