40hrs sick pay earned but only allowed to use 24hrs? Anyone experience this?

I took a day off from work, sick, and did everything I could to adhere to the requests of my job. I was ready for work when they told me that because, I had just caught covid, that I must quarantine for 5 days, yet, when it comes to using my earned sick pay, they tell me I've already used 16 hours so they're only going to pay me 8 hours. I will end up having actually 31 hours that I've earned and yet receive zero benefit from. Are we only allowed to get sick for 3 8-hour days during the year? So, forfeiting earned sick pay is the new normal?
