[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For professions outside of teaching, what happens to unused leave? Is it “use it or lose it” and if so, do you try to use up your leave before it is lost?[/quote]

Bump.
Anyone?[/quote]

Personally, I have to list my leave time as leave but I still have to work.  So…yeah.

The pandemic means that my office still works 60 hours a weeks, and no one really gets weekends. Leave days are merely a hope.[/quote]

What is your job?

Are you able to take time for doctors appointments or if you are sick? [/quote]

I am a fed. I can book dr appts and other things as needed, but have been asked to reschedule more times then I can count. There are periods of time where no leave is approved due to pace of business. I get one day off per holiday ie, thanksgiving day and Christmas Day off, no extra. I usually try to take 2 days of personal leave during one holiday a year (meaning, I can probably get approval for some days off for Christmas or Thanksgiving but I will not get days off for both). I have never had excess leave as there was no maternity leave when I had my children ( now ages 5 and 7) so I used all leave then went without pay in order to stay home 12 weeks each time. My childless friends have some years accrued use or lose and they always lose as they cannot be out for as much as they’ve accrued.  Often they try to donate it to our sick bank. [/quote]
