[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different employers are different.

Some employers I recently worked for had a total of 10 days PTO per year, no sick leave, most Federal holidays but not all Federal holidays. I don't get more than those 10 PTO days until after my 5 year anniversary, when it goes to 12 PTO days/year.

With kids in child care and in FCPS, I used all 10 days off in <7 months between little kids out sick, "teacher work days", "half day school days", a few hours off to take kids to routine MD, a few hours for my annual physical, and such. FCPS being closed for snow plus random stuff for a whole week was a problem in Feb.

And my kids and I were not more sick than average for elementary or being pre-K in child care.

If PP has an employer with lots of PTO or PTO plus sick leave, that is great. Many many employers are just not like that. [/quote]

I'm a fed who still worries about losing my job (be it Schedule F or a RIF), and this was a huge factor in my not seriously pursuing local government jobs last year. The leave is too precious.
