sick worker vs unwell worker

Both "sick worker" and "unwell worker" are correct phrases, but they are used in slightly different contexts. "Sick worker" is more commonly used and refers to an employee who is ill or unwell. On the other hand, "unwell worker" is less common but still correct, and it emphasizes the worker's state of being not well.
