Generation Call-In-Sick....Americans are taking a lot more sick days and Gen Z is leading the charge.

I'm Gen X and I started that myself when they took separate sick and vacation days and lumped them into "Paid Time Off".

With vacation days, it's implied you need to plan ahead for those, but if they wanted to lump them into PTO, well to me one day here or there doesn't need to be scheduled as long as I am reachable by phone in an emergency.

Only government employees these days get actual sick time anymore.

Pablum. Offhand, I get 5 sick days a year.

Any I do not use, I get paid for in January.

I get 4 weeks of PTO, and one floating holiday. No sick time.

I used to get 5 weeks PTO at my old company, 1 floating holiday, no sick time.

I might be up to 4 weeks 1 day with the new company, only downside to my switch.

Some of ours will carry over. I carried almost a week this yr.n

No carry over. Vacation/Holiday/Floating Holiday resets on January 1st. Earned Sick Leave on your hire date. You can also “buy” up to 5 days of additional vacation per year (Union only benefit).

State of MN passed a law mandating a PTO system for all employers if they didn't already give sick leave . 40 hrs a yr . Part of the fallout is if you call in sick you have to use PTO, you can't opt for no pay.

We’ve never had a “no pay” option.
