Federal job lets you accrue up to 240 hours of leave to carryover to the next year ( at rates of 4/6/8 hours per two weeks accrual, depending on years of service), in addition to a flat 4 hours per pay period of sick leave (which is uncapped). This is considered god-tier amounts of PTO in the US, and its still shit compared to Europe.
Yep. Public sector is where it’s at, from an American point of view. Still shit compared to Europe, but for US? It’s fucking great.
I earn 180 hours/year (four and a half weeks/year) in vacation, can carry 250 hours of vacation (6 weeks and 1 day) over to the next year, and I get 3 weeks paid sick leave/year with infinite carryover. Finally, 11 holidays.
I’ve also never had a vacation or sick leave day denied, but that’s more because of the people I work with, not the company policy.
Theoretically, yes. Realistically, if anyone tried, there would be a long line of people wanting to talk with that person that tried to deny sick leave, and the first ones in line would be HR.
Vacation is more likely to be denied, but I’ve never had it happen and have never denied any myself.
Yes. Plus if you work somewhere like, say, the post office you can work most of the holidays and get another two weeks paid leave. Nine weeks paid leave after three years service. Leaves private sector people very jealous of what is otherwise a relatively atrocious job.

Wait, they can deny you to be sick?
