28 work days PTO
14 work days a year sick leave is accumulated (up to 10 days no questions asked, after that a simple doctor's note works) -- this stacks infinitely as long as you work there... i have about 220 hours. I have heard of guys near retirement taking over a year off in sick leave.
5 Family Days
Then all the misc. leave like grievance leave, wedding leave, etc.

144 hours sick a year, 120 hours of vacation a year, plus a bunch of random semi-important holidays. I work for the University of California. Sure beats my old job, 40 hours vacation, 21 hours sick, and you had to provide a note even if you were out one day. I had to really roll the dice and say no I didn't get a note from a doctor when I went on interviews for a new job.

8 hours of sick per month, 8 hours of vacation a month, plus comp time and FLSA overtime. I've got more time off on the books than I'll ever be able to actually use.

Yep , I accumulate 3 hours per pay indefinitely (72 hrs per yr). We can sell it back at retirement @ 50% plus the remainder going to time in service.
We also have progressive vacation starting at 3 hours per pay and increasing to as much as 6 (4 weeks).

I work for a small company, and I'm stuck on salary. If I need to take off, I just do, and get paid.... of course if it's abused I'd probably get canned.

no, we dont even technically get sick or flex time. Despite being salary we run things kinda "old-school". but we work a lot of hours (55-60 most weeks) so if I cut out early some friday no one says anything.

18 days vacation, 7 sick.
Can carry over 5 vacation and a maximum of 25 sick days.
When you leave the company you get paid for earned vacation days, but not sick days. So I go though all of my sick days every year.

Oh and since this is my 7th year at my company, I get an additional 3 week sabattical. So, I am going to be off most of September. Should be nice.

I accrue 12 sick days a year for a total of up to 480 hours. The sick policy for us is the first day comes out of PTO, any day after that comes out of the sick bank.

I get 23 PTO days a year, but that includes holidays. So it's more like 14 days a year. I can bank up to 76 days worth of vacation - 608 hours.

Don't care, sick or not sick, I am going to work. PTO is for traveling.
But I will check today.

no official sick time per se, but if you have too many occurences (an occurence is when you are out sick, be it one day or several days), HR/your manager will talk to you about it...

standard two weeks of vacation per year if you are there less than 5 years, 3 weeks/year if you have worked there 5 - 9 years and 4 weeks/year if you work there more than 10 years...

standard holidays and 4 floating holiday (MLK Day, President's Day, Veteran's Day, Columbus Day) which we can take on a different day if we chose...
