shrugs@lemmy.world 4 months agoAs a european i think its fucking disgusting that sick days in america are substracted from vacation days. Don’t you deserve any vacation because you happen to be sick more often then someone else?
Here in germany, if I geht sick during a vacation, i’ll call work and get back all the vacation days that I happened to be sick, because everyone should use his vacation days to regenerate and relax, not to lie in bed being sick.

Sometimes they are separate allotments. My work combined them at one point, which means they would get more vacation time than before as long as they don’t get sick.
Of course that’s still encouraging people to work while sick.
