The way LTD works where I am is there is NO payout until I’ve been off work 6 months, then LTD kicks in.
I hoard my sick leave in a most miserly fashion indeed. I’m up around 700 hours or so at this point, but I won’t breathe easily until I’m over 1000.
I had a minor operation that took a LOT longer than expected to recover from, and I was glad to have the leave stashed away.
I *MIGHT* take a sick day every 4-6 months, usually for a doctor’s/dentist’s appt. but I try to schedule those on my days off or a morning after night shift.
HA HA! You hit the target!
I had 2 people in my office (not gov’t) who for 11+ years would be absent 1 to 2 days each month. Rarely did they go a whole month without doing so. One got fired by a new manager and the other quit a year and half later.
They would also had 4 weeks of vacation plus the holidays but still were absent.
