        Uhh, no. Sick days are for when you’re sick. Annual leave is for when you do stuff like this.

        Christ, this platform beggars belief sometimes.

          Are they separate for her? Does unused sick time get paid out like leave time if unused? Or do they have unlimited sick time?

            I my experience with teaching in the U.S. sick days do get paid out at retirement. Teachers typically get 10 sick days a year and 3 personal days. The sick days stack but personal days turn to sick days after you have 5 banked.

          People are treating you like an asshole for your heartlessness. But they’re not giving you enough credit for also being an idiot.

          Sick days are part of your compensation package. They are yours to do whatever the fuck you want with. There’s a reason most companies don’t call them sick days anymore.

              Can you bring some of these facts?

              I know nothing about US workers law, only that they get like 12 days off per year, and working days are like 10+ hrs

                The fact they’re called sick days, and not leave days, should be a hint.

                  Ah - so so there’s no rules or laws that apply, it’s all based on what it’s called. I never understood how US functions but I’m getting a better feel now. Thank you

                    This would probably work if you were smart enough to stay home.

      She wouldn’t have to have used sick days if this God damn country had basic worker rights and gave people vacation time. Oh and a side note, many companies will 100% fire you if you use your vacation days. Fuck the American work environment
