    SICK DAYS AS “BENEFITS”? D:

      Many companies count any day you aren’t at work as “paid time off”, so if you’re sick (or have given birth the other day and have the audacity not to show up for your shift immediately), those days are being deducted from your holiday budget until that has run out. Then, your sick days are just unpaid and that’s that.

      Furthermore, there is no mandatory amount of such days that I know of.

        every company I’ve worked for has a separate pool for each. The usually has been maybe ~5 sick days and 1-4 weeks of vacation based on seniority. The issue is for anything worse than say one good cold a year those sick days aren’t good for much so you either have to use vacation to cover the gap or just lose pay. Things like pregnancy you get Fmla time but that is unpaid so you either burn vacation days or just don’t get paid for say post pregnancy recovery or cancer treatments etc. any European countries in desperate need of truck dispatchers?

          See? That’s effed up! I got 44 holidays and can get paid sick leave for up to 6 weeks in a row if needed (Germany).
          Try the UK, they had some issues with trucking after Brexit.
