Our contract at TSA said that they would look back 120 days from the day an employee separated from the company (under good circumstances i.e. not fired) and give you a bonus based on the number of days you called in sick.
0 = $600
1 = $400
2 = $200
3 = $100
4 or more = SOL
Those numbers aren't exact but they are pretty close. And since I'm furloughed, I haven't seen a dime for my vacation time I earned but never got to use.
