[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]

Each place is different. I can roll over 40 hours into next year, my husband can’t roll any over.[/quote]

Do you try to use your excess leave over 40 hours? Does your DH use his before he loses it?[/quote]

Not PP, but similar situation. If I took all of my hours, I would miss deadlines or I would have to ignore request from senior management who need a sign off before something goes out the door. Neither of those are options, so I lose hours every year. [/quote]

Another DP who works in state government. I have lost leave every year of my 15 plus years with the government. The leave was available, but the work demands were such that I wasn't able to use it. Yes, I can schedule doctors' appointments when I want, but as another poster said, I have rescheduled multiple times and have canceled vacations as well. This is something that teachers seem to not understand. This isn't even a matter of what's permitted, but what is required, as a professional, to do the work in a professional way that serves our stakeholders. Professionals don't just take off because they have the leave. [/quote]
