I'm "sick" of the MFs at work not shutting up about the super bowl so I'm going to go to the mountains for a long weekend. I get 4 hours per pay period of sick leave, however I use them doesn't matter until it's 15 minutes past the third consecutive day.

If you are sick you are sick, you even get your vacation days back if you are sick during your vacation.

Not at all. Where I work, my 8 sick days are added to my earned holidays hours each and every year, so you are rewarded for not having time off.

I thought you are in the UK?

8 sick days? Wow that sounds nice. They reduced ours to 3-4 sick days. And if you do t use then we lose out. Or keep 2days to her paid 1 day. We use to have 6 and got paid if never used. I miss those days.

@DryGermanGuy Nope

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

In america, no. Take that sick leave and have a vacation. It’s not like they pay you otherwise.

No because sick doesn't have to mean the flu. It can be mentally unwell needing a personal mental "time out" to heal.

No, I used to do it all the time. I called them mental health days
