Yet again another post where the OP has no clue about what they're posting about.

Not all companies adopt the “Use it or lose it “ rule.

Most do in North America at least.

I'd have to see what data you're basing this on, but it's also very different between industries. A part time worker in retail will have a very different experience than someone working in an office. A LPT should certainly take this into account, as burning PTO that is also your vacation time is just dumb.

Sick pay is not always "use it or lose it", and PTO (personal time off) is often combined sick and vacation time. It's a good idea to bank up a month or so if you can do so. If nothing else, it's a nice pay out when you leave. Don't just burn it off frivolously.

Most companies nowadays do not rollover sick time or vacation time. Sick just goes byebye. Vacation gets paid out EOY, and your manager often gets in trouble as it's not in the budget to pay them out.

My company's sick days rollover . . .

It varies by industry and job type. This is a dumb LPT.

It’s based on your employers fiscal year, not calendar year.
In my case, May 31st is the last day of the fiscal year.

No. It’s by fiscal year.

So you've worked for every company?

Have you?

No but I know sick days aren't the same everywhere
How can it be by fiscal year of company when some countries mandate sick days and when they roll over?
Jimmirehman t1_iyf5uws wrote
Ok fine. I was speaking about U.S. companies. But let’s just both agree to disagree.

Every US company I've worked for has accrued PTO by calendar year
Jimmirehman t1_iyf7txh wrote
When did their fiscal year end?
bobstro t1_iyfdo05 wrote
All mid calendar year IIRC. That said, I should correct my statement. PTO accrual was not tied to the fiscal year. You accumulate a set amount each pay period. There are 10 or so fixed holidays each year, but other time off accrues and can be used for personal or sick time. You're allowed to run a negative balance if sick.

That would depend on your sick leave balance employer's policies, your employment contract and your country's employment laws.
