In Europe typically there are unlimited sick days, but the company has insurance to cover your salary after a certain number of days per year. You typically need a doctor's note after 3 consecutive days, and if you are abusing the system the insurance company (who is a pro at this) will quickly investigate and terminate / claw back their coverage.

That's a good deal. I'm in the UK and I've never had anything like that. I currently have ten paid sick days per year and after that it is Statutory Sick Pay (SSP, £96.35 pe week) for an additional 26 weeks. SSP is better than nothing but it's not great.
Looking back, all of me previous jobs have offered 10 days sick pay and I've always assumed it is a de-facto standard over here.

In my last job (Ireland) one of my team mates had a serious health issue, and was off sick on full pay for an entire year
* Unpaid sick days
* The limitation is the other way around, they don't want to give a single pool of 30 paid days off, you're limited to 15 vacation days
* If you have a good relationship with your manager, it's a soft limit and they'll allow you to go over as long as it's not abused
* If you're part-time/hourly, trading days/hours with a co-worker
Our HR department combined vacation days and sick days into one pool several years ago when they realized most of us were faking sick days to get more vacation time.
