[quote=Anonymous]Where I work, using sick leave when you are not sick is called sick leave abuse. It's grounds for termination if it's determined to be pattern. That being said, I can totally see why an employee might assume it's interchangeable with vacation. We had this difference of opinion with our last nanny, and with our current employee we only offer general PTO. Just to give an employer's perspective, however, when we offered sick leave, it was more in line with an "insurance policy" We wanted our nanny to know that if she got a particularly bad illness or had a serious family emergency, she had a store of paid leave she could use without having to dig into her vacation time or stress about being paid. However, most years, that would not be the case and we fully expect that most sick will go unused. [/quote]
