I understand not non reving while on a sick call, but why do we in America accept com0any restrictions on what we use our sick calls for?

As I see it, that is time,pay, benefit that I have earned base off the companies benefit policy therefore should be able to use it as I see fit. If I have a kid that is sick and I need to take off to care for them, or I am just not feeling 100% focused because of life events, or feeling overworked I should be able to take the time off and do as I please.

The company won't allow us to cash out our sick bank when we flow or leave, or even roll it over to a fellow employee in need. We can't even use our sick bank for a FMLA for the birth of a child. If one doesn't usually get sick throughout the year, one should be able to use it as another form of personal vacation day.

just my .02 cents.
