I would sometimes order people to go home (of course, I couldn't really order them to, but sometimes the suggestion worked).

I would actually question whether the "business community" as a whole is violently opposed to paid sick leave. From the management side, the point of sick leave isn't that the poor sickie gets to recover, but that he or she might not infect others and cause a *gasp* loss of productivity.
