    In Europe I don’t think sick days even have a limit, at some point you need to actually prove you are sick and are not just saying it, but as long as you have a doctor sign off on it you can be sick as much as you like.

    Often used when people have long-term illnesses or injuries that take a long time to recover from

    Those sick days are totally separate from holiday pay. So I can be off for 2 weeks with an infection (with a doctor’s note) and then take a week holiday, and they can’t say boo.

      Plus, you took vacation days but got sick during the vacation? Get a doctor’s note, and you get your vacation days back to use later.

        Surprisingly, a lot of people don’t seem to be aware of this when you point it out to them.
