Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On one of the days, I did, and counted it as a half day
Yeah, we don't do half days here, and I have to say -- I like it. My MI job made us count doctor's visits as sick time.

I have 350 hours, I think (accrued at 10 days/year). I'm kinda suprised that I've averaged a week out sick per year. That just doesn't seem possible. Of course, I say this after what? Taking a sick day. I guess mine are just a day here and there, not so much consecutive.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Damn. I want a Green Day holiday.

How much sick time to folks get per year?
I get thirteen days personal leave, usable as sick or vacation. I also get Federal holidays, though, which makes it a tad better.

We have what's called full time accounting, which means we can't take leave and work on the same day, technically. However, you can take a portion sick and a portion vacation. Which seems crazy to me, but vacation days are more precious to me than sick. If I had kids or lots of appointments, I'd probably appreciate it.

How much sick time to folks get per year?
7 sick days, 15 vacation days, 2 Personal Holidays (like...Green Day). They can roll over, but only up to a maximum plateau (25 days of vacation for me, 13 sick days). At my job you can only cashout your accrued unused vacation/Personal Holiday time. Not the sick leave.
JZ has unlimited sick leave accrual which she'll exploit whenever she needs to take maternity leave.
