Peter, I don’t think it makes a ton of sense to count those as “wages” per se, since they’re not scalable, repeatable, knowable a priori, or even (often) reproducible between people.
In fact, I’m not even sure they’re marginal. For instance, nobody thinks “I think I shouldn’t donate a kidney because I could otherwise spend that sick leave changing things on my tax forms and earn millions of dollars.”
