That is the way I always remembered it. I don't believe this is a change. I also think that is why most Pilots will not call in
"well" mid trip unless they want to fly something else. Think about it - if you are saying you are "well" on day 2 they are not going to pay you sick pay for day 3. The reason we probably have this rule is because GS Ninjas would routinely call in sick for a trip and then call in well before the trip was over if they saw a GS opportunity. If they were still getting paid for a trip after calling in well they would not be eligible for a GS.
But more importantly you want to reach the GS trigger. First off borrow 5 hours from the bank - that will probably fix the issue since we are only talking 1 sick-day and enable you to hit the trigger. You can do this and then immediately check your time-card. If that does not work try to WS a one day trip, if your category has them. Some of the older guys remember a term "Protect Essential" once you fly a GS you must "Protect the trigger." Good luck!
