i'm a card carrying member of the old school of you work, you get paid. That's the deal. That's your loyalty card. You're an employee and you want to dictate terms to your employer? - then why don't you take all of the risks and carry the can yourself.

I agree that loyalty doesn't come into it. However, companies are the first to play that ambiguous game where they pretend to be your best pal so that they can get you working extra hours etc. The fuzzy feeling suddenly disappears when they no longer need you.
During a period of ill health I worked a total of six months part-time over an 18 month period. The rules said that I should receive six months full pay and six months half pay: my employers continously sent me reports to read and comment on during the 18 month period and said that as I was providing a service I would receive full pay for the whole of the 18 month period.
I doubt that many employers would do the same.
Loyalty has to work both ways but in the end it's both parties doing what they consider to be in their own best long term interest. If an employee gets full pay when out sick when they are not contractually entitled to it then it is reasonable that the employer can expect them to do things that are outside their contract (like working overtime etc). It's give and take that should balance out in the long run (if not then one party is exploiting the other).
Of course keeping the business viable will take precedence but next month’s profit shouldn't.
