that's how my company does it. I'm ok with it I just wish we got more days for it. if I get sick bad enough after a vacation I could miss out on some money. on the flip side if I got sick before a vacation I booked and couldn't get my money back I'd get screwed out of a lot of cash. |

That's always the risk. My company does have what they call "Extended Illness Benefits" (EIB) that kick in automatically if you have been out sick for more than 32 hours. That is a separate "bucket" that gets added to each year to a max number of hours. You use PTO for the first 32, then EIB kicks in, but it requires a confirmation note from a medical professional.

We technically have sick days and vacation days (which require approval). But as a pilot all you have to do is say the f-word (fatigued) and they can't really say anything because you aren't fit to fly even tired. I hardly ever use my sick days though they are almost always maxed out. If the weather is shitty and it's a holiday and someone calls out everybody wants to kill them, even if they are legit sick. Of course this makes some guys come in sick when they should have called out and then the next week EVERYONE calls out sick because we all fly the same airplanes and only like 2 guys are anal enough to wipe down everything with antiseptic wipes.

That's pretty much my point, just in favor of the person who received the note. Pretty much just don't do it, because there are possibly factors other people don't know about.

I know a couple of people that work for companies that don't have PTO at all. their policy is get your work done and you can "take off" when ever you want as much as you want. |

OK Bye guys. I have returned from the south and am now headed to the north to see if I can catch some salmon. The odds are not in our favour though since the salmon run when it gets cool out and it is 85 degrees up there right now.
See y'all Sunday night

I work in a Hospital system. IT folks calling out isn't a big deal, but on a nursing floor there are minimum staffing levels for patient counts. There it is a problem. It was the same way in other businesses I've been involved with over the years (airlines, reference labs).

My Father owned a roofing company that I worked for from about age 10 to 20 so I can definitely relate. The closest my Father ever came to pulling his gun and shooting an employee was on a 110 degree day in August in NC when an employee had slipped a six pack of beer into the water jug and couldn't get it out at lunch so he cut the water jug in half to get it out.

Same here at my hospital. I'm in finance. We could all not come in for a day and nothing would happen. On the patient side, different story. |

Today finally painted the basement. Color I’ve chose was Park Bench Green. Kinda like Forrest Green, but few shades lighter.
Still need to install molding, frame inside the window & blinds, but after that, it’s done! |
