Sick Day and Working

I just got an email from my boss and he basicaly told me he is docking a sick day but it is company policy for me to still work from home. This has happend to me before where I worked from home and he docked my sick day. I never signed anything or heard of this before. When I first started my job I olny worked from home. All of a sudden I am not allowed to with out him ever telling me that.
