    I would love to know how much is spent trying to catch people trying to game the system, compared to lost compensation because of sick leave.

    Past a point, they must surely be spending more hiring this whole team of detectives than they would be just letting the workers take Friday off.

      Yes, that reminds me of when Florida(?) started requiring drug testing for welfare recipients and ended up spending more on the tests than whatever they saved uncovering fraud.
