Sick Leave
I have just used all my sick leave all 10 days in one fowl swoop. But it was not me that got sick but a family member who has just had a second stroke. While we are all talking about sick leave it all seems pointless when you have to use your sick leave on your family because there is no other way you can leave your job to care for your family in cases like this. So now if i get sick i will have to use my AL. To me there is no provision for this type of leave, without losing your sick leave. There is no such thing as Domestic Leave it would be really good if there was. Then you could keep your SL for yourself. Especially when for me i had just got my new 10 days sick leave as it was my anniversary in my job. All 20yrs worth in this job. By the way my bosses have been very helpful and accommodating. Not all employers are but i am sure that if they could they would help their employees out. Everyone should be entitled to SL all 10 days of it. Most people would work full time if they could. But lets be fair. It is possible to do five days worth of work in four days and then have the fifth day off! everyone wins. We just need to adopt this way of working. No more sick leave required.
