Mine has always started accumulating right away.
I should check this, but the HR is a maze here, and I don't quite need to know yet.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I accrued, but wasn't supposed to use, leave for the first 90 days. My bosses let me anyway (90 included Xmas and TG.)

Punishingly Intricate
Okay, perhaps not the maturest viewpoint, but half a year before I can use sick time? If one accepts the need for sick time, that's a long while to go without.
Yeah that seems weird to me. I don't remember if we had a waiting period before being able to take paid time on my current job. I was there three months as a contractor before I came on as a permanent employee. I know I started accumulating time right away as a perm. employee.
I don't know if there's a waiting period at new job. When I accepted the offer I told them that I was going to take 3 days basically right away that I'd already planned and they were cool with that.

"genebt" is nonsense
genesst?
Hah, no, though that was a very good guess, Tom. It's gesiebt, meaning sieved.
Mulling it over, "doehles" makes me think of dough (usually "teig"), perhaps it means the same thing.
BTW, Hil, half a pound in Germany is 500g, so you'll probably have to convert that to US lbs for the recipes to work properly.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is the difference between using right away and waiting six months also a difference between hourly and salaried? I know that has been the difference everywhere I have worked. I think the theory is that as a salaried person, you are paid for what you produce and they won't have to pay someone to cover you if you are sick. If you are hourly and sick, you can call in and you just won't get paid. I think that higher ups also assume that hourly employees are much more likely to fake sick.

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

I always thought that it was that prior to six months you are on "probation."

Hey! I just filled out a do-it-yourself will at Legalzoom.
I somehow resisted the idea of asking for a Viking boat funeral. Instead I asked for minimum embalming and a cheap coffin. (Too bad they don't have coffins at IKEA....)
