That's what "personal days" are for.

Vacation days are days that are long planned.

Sick days are last-minute days for when you are ill.

Personal days are last-minute days for when, say, a pipe breaks in your apartment and you have to spend the day dealing with the mess. Or any other non-medical reason you have to be a person and not an employee for a day.

Generally people don't have to use those last minute days often and I don't think that's what OP meant.

It seems like people just were abusing it.
