What if I told you that it usually also takes away from your vacation days?

So if you get sick too often, no vacation for you that year.

That’s sick (pun intended). Over here it’s the other way around: When we get sick during a vacation, we get the vacation days back.

Take your civilised attitude and get out of here!

Although, at least in my field of work, it's a bit frowned upon to actually get your vacation days back when you get sick.

[-] Senshi@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

It really shouldn't. My company has reprimanded people for not responding their vacation days. The law is very clear on this and courts have stated as well: vacations are meant for recovering your energy. Healing from an illness does not allow you to recover from work, so you must be granted that time again.

Only a refreshed worker is a productive worker.

My sick days and PTO are the same. I have a chronic illness I'm working with doctors to treat. Between occasional sick days, and doctors visits, I never get a vacation day

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

That really sucks. I've never had a job where they separated PTO and sick days. They just pool them together.

Damn, the US needs to get their shit together

How inconsiderate of you, think of the billionaires who would suffer!

[-] naticus@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

I've been lucky enough to always have a job in the public sector and it's very common they are completely separate. Likely less pay, but far better retirement system than most private sector jobs.

That's not the case in the UK, your annual leave is a legal entitlement, and unrelated to any sick time you may have to take.

The workers of your nation need to organise a few general strikes to get their basic rights sorted out, I don't like seeing workers abused.

Jokes on you, I haven't been able to afford a vacation in a decade 😂😭
