I have a problem with it because sick leave should be used for when you're sick, not accrued in "cashed in" as a reward for not being sick. That actually creates an incentive to come to work sick, which is the opposite intent of having a sick leave policy in the first place. I think this is a holdover of union-negotiated benefits. I'm certainly not anti-union by any stretch, but I find the accumulation of sick leave to be a really bad policy and an abuse of taxpayer dollars. Use it when you're sick, not as a reward for trudging through.[/quote]

Hmmm...You made me think. I'm a pretty healthy person and rarely miss work. I should start burning up that leave now. After 20 years I do have a lot of leave saved up. I think it's a little over 900 hours. I know we can use it towards retirement credit, but really, what's a half year when compared to the 30+ years I'll have in at that point? I'm not having any more kids. Even if I use ten days a year, I still have those 900 hours saved up.[/quote]
