Secretary uses every last one of her 10 sick days every year. Normal?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 4th, 2017 4:15 PM Author: Snowy azn We give her 3 weeks vacation, 2 weeks of sick days and 2 personal days, and she uses every one like clock work, basically getting 5 and a half weeks of vacation.
Is this the norm for people like secretaries and service workers?
Meanwhile, I haven't been too sick to come to the office in years. |

|
Date: January 4th, 2017 4:25 PM Author: Crimson razzle-dazzle community account prole lol isn't that illegal in CA?
actually no.
the reason your differentiate sick days instead of general PTO is that you HAVE to pay your employees for accrued PTO either at the end of the year, when they cash it in, or when they quit.
By making the sick time distinction you cheap cunts don't have to pay them for it or let it accrue.
So yes you are asking for it. |

|
Date: January 4th, 2017 4:27 PM Author: Snowy azn It is definitely not illegal to not pay for accrued sick time.
But it is for being sick, so not sure why we'd pay them for it. |
|
Date: January 4th, 2017 4:30 PM Author: Crimson razzle-dazzle community account prole right. your abusive firm makes the sick day/PTO distinction to avoid having to roll over and pay employees for sick time they don't take, like they would with vacation days or PTO. Which is why employees obviously use it.
In other words, if you want you secretary around more often, pay her for the sick days she doesn't use. |
|
Date: January 4th, 2017 4:31 PM Author: Snowy azn or have her grow up and use sick days for being sick, which is what they are for, and how 90% of our employees use them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3481235&forum_id=2#32298483) |

Date: January 4th, 2017 4:33 PM Author: Crimson razzle-dazzle community account prole Is it shocking that a $60K employee that you hire to make you coffee and open the mail does not have the same dedication to the work that you do making $500k?
Would you really expect anyone to use a vacation day rather than a sick day for a random day off? |
|
Date: January 4th, 2017 4:38 PM Author: Snowy azn 90% of our employees making less than 100k don't use the majority of their sick days. This isn't a grocery store.
BTW, this woman made $86k with bonus last year, and she is 31 years old. |

Date: January 4th, 2017 4:50 PM Author: Spruce Roommate Location Conversely, there are employees who use vacation days if they're actually sick because they ran out of sick days. It doesn't matter what type of day you're taking off time that you're entitled to. This is why I hated when law firms went to unlimited vacation.

Date: January 4th, 2017 4:37 PM Author: Spruce Roommate Location Yes it is totally normal because sick days and personal days do not accrue and roll over like vacation days.
I use all my sick days and personal days before dipping into vacation days and so do all the other employees. I still come into work if I'm sick. I don't think I've ever taken a real sick day. Why does it matter whether or not she's actually sick, as long as she's taking days off that she is entitled to? |

Because if you guys want to get people to stop taking so many sick days, then simply reduce the sick days number. You can't have a "use it or lose it" rule and expect people not to use them.

|
Date: January 4th, 2017 5:57 PM Author: Spruce Roommate Location You're right most (professional) employees do not take all their vacation days because they can't take that much time off and they'd rather accrue it. But 10 sick days is a lot. I bet if you made it 5 sick days and the other 5 days as vacation, she'd have more incentive to accrue. That said, I assume your firm would rather do the sick days because it's ultimately a cost savings over paying out for vacation days.
I'm not sure why it bothers you that she take so much time off. In all my years of having a secretary, I've used them for like 1 hour/week at the most but still have to give Xmas gift and admin day gift or whatever. Your standards for an admin should be lower.

Date: January 4th, 2017 5:40 PM Author: Crimson razzle-dazzle community account prole 5.5 weeks is the fringe benefit. Honestly you allocate way too much of that time as sick leave, because you want to avoid accrual or paying the time out.
You should probably just have 5 days of sick leave and then decide whether or not you want to give more PTO which you have to pay for. Might not affect your secretary but it probably would for others who like to get paid for unused PTO. |

Life in corporate America is a miserable fucking slog for well adjusted, normal people. People hate wasting their lives sitting at desks.
This may come as a surprise to striver law robots, but people view days off as a benefit and take them. Only TTT nanny companies/firms differentiate between "sick days" and "vacation days" because it invites a weird discussion about what counts as what. If you offer 2 weeks of vacation and 10 days of sick days, just call it 24 days of PTO and don't act as an autistic nanny state company.
God damn, this is why I could never go back to working for someone else again. |

Date: April 12th, 2017 10:09 AM Author: nubile parlour giraffe It is a tough problem. Employers WANT their employees to stay home when sick because otherwise they are more likely to get their colleagues sick. So overall productivity can go down when sick people come to work. If the employer just says hey, you get 24 PTO days, use them how you will, that is better for employees, but then they are loathe to stay home when sick because it means losing one of their otherwise vacation days, so it hurts employers beyond just the cost of PTO.
On the other hand, if you differentiate between vacation days and sick days, employees are more likely to stay home with a cold, etc (which employers want). However, you're also likely to see that the Friday before a long weekend an employee is suddenly "sick". Employers generally don't mind the time off here (which is why some just do PTO only), but the issue is this is always unscheduled. With PTO, you know a week or so in advance that you'll need coverage for that person, but nobody tells you a couple weeks in advance that they are going to be "sick". Employers who are more concerned about planning might go to a PTO only model whereas employees whose absence isn't that detrimental are more likely to have differentiated days. |
