keep in mind 4.5hrs of pay for not calling in sick comes from YOUR sick bank. You get cash instead of calling in sick.

that is just nauseating.... oops, better not think about it, I might need to call in sick.

Who would sell it back? that is an odd benefit.

You can't leave with sick time, cash it out while ya can I guess. I make sure to keep a month's worth- beyond that I don't ever worry about being sick. If I am "unable" to work I just call.

I though that was the norm. I know many that kept just enough then it was sick at a time vacation. Just baffled on the selling back aspect.

4.5 hours of your own sick pay isnt nearly worth 4 days off and getting paid for it sick or not. If I'm sick, I'm sick. 1,2,3,4 days in a row, whatever it may be, I'm not coming to work. The time off plus getting paid for it is more valuable than a measly 4.5 hours anyday.

Speaking of sick calls, what happend to their "wellness program" and good food in all the crew rooms? Vanished like a fart in the wind.

i would just use it rather then sell it back. if you sell it, it is considered future earnings which is taxed like a bonus and you don't get as much money as if you would have just called in sick....I could be wrong but that is what I have noticed and been told at previous jobs
