So...if your sick bank is full (686 credit hours) any unused sick hours in a given year will roll into your 401k up to the $55,000 IRS limit, after which the Company cuts you a check for the remainder.
You can also contribute an additional $6,000 “catch-up contribution” if you are 50 years old or older.
