How does paid sick leave work with flexible shift work scheduling in service industries? The kind where you learn every week if and how much you’ll be working? Do such jobs guarantee hours/week to begin with?

My team just implemented this for Instacart. You accrue hours of sick pay for every X hours worked. When you use it, we also forgive any negative impact to your “attendance points”, which measures your reliability at showing up to work. See more here: google.com/amp/s/www.thev

You assume they coexist. I've yet to see them do so.
Service industries don't even do UNPAID sick leave. Failure to show to your shift can get you fired, no matter the reason. And no, there's also no guaranteed hours.
I'm sure that won't have any bad knock-on effects today. /s

In my experience you have a general number of hours you work. Some are always trying to keep ppl low, some always trying to encourage you to work overtime cause chronically short. Some call you in on days off and tell you you’ll be fired if you can’t come in. No sick pay anywhere
