Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
Maybe 5 every year? Once every couple months or so? I get 1 3/4 sick and 1 3/4 vac. a month, so definitely use less than I have accumulated. I generally really am sick when I use them--I get more vacation days than I can ever use so I don't abuse the sick.

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
I used to take all the time (5 days). But now I have the option to work from home, that works out better for everyone.

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
I don't think I have taken a single sick day in the past five years. I have come in late and left early because I was sick, but I have never called in sick for a whole day.

Wow, Juliet!! I admire you. As for me, I probably average 4 a year but we have so few holidays and lousy vacation time. I actually would love to take more.

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
We get 5 days paid each time we call in sick. I usually call in 2x a year maybe so I get 10 days.

Thanks. The truth is, my body has been trained to get sick on long weekends or during holidays. Last Xmas was the flu (my company closes that week between xmas and new years)
One MLK weekend I had a stomach virus.
My body just knows the "right" times to get sick.

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
I called in sick last week for the first time in over two years. I had a really bad cold. I hate it when people come to work sick and spread their germs around.
eta: we earn one sick day a month.

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
Yes, you heard right! We can take as many sick 'weeks' as long as you get a doctor note and we get paid. If you don't get a doctor note, 2 weeks per year paid.

Yup, but it's not 10 seperate days. 5 days paid each time I am sick. They give you 5 days to return to work!

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
Judging by the amount of time I have left accumulated (our sick time carries over each year) approx 3 days per year when I averaged it out. BUT... I also donate 3 sick days a year to a sick leave bank so I don't know how the heck that worked out like that.
I've already used 2 days this year!!

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
We get "PTO"...It's Personal Time Off...You get a certain amount of hours per paycheck...
(I happen to get five...)
These hours are to be used for ANY time that you need off, regardless of what it is...SICK, BEREAVEMENT, VACATION, ETC. ETC.
The ONLY pro to this is that I don't have to call in 'sick' when I'm really not...I can just call in and say: "I'm taking PTO today." End of story.

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
I have never taken a sick day in my 8 years of working. I've taken days when I need them for bereavment, house closing, etc., but to me, taking a sick day is too stressful. The whole time I'd be worried about the work piling up on my desk, then when I returned, I'd have to work twice as hard and twice as long to get everything done to make up for it. I'd rather sit and sneeze at my desk!

Re: Approx. how many sick days do you take per year?
We don't have a set amount of sick days with my company; they're pretty liberal about sick leave as long as it isn't abused.
I'll take maybe 5 sick days a year. I don't really ever get that sick.
