    I think this is pretty standard for Chinese companies. My friend works for one, and she doesn’t get sick days. They must come out of her holiday allowance.

    She gets treated better than her Chinese counterparts, though. For Chinese public holidays, they get the day off, but are then expected to give it back to the company at the weekend

        I’m afraid I and my friend are both in the EU. Chinese companies will and do find ways…

      The problem isn’t the Chinese companies the problem is the US doesn’t have any kind of employee protection laws. If they did the Chinese companies couldn’t do any of that. There was a reason they don’t operate in Europe.

      I work for an American company and we have to use PTO for sick days. Unfortunately.
