They are just words of any form, whilst all the while being of a monetary value to the employee, and offset and factored into their total wage / hrly rate, so yes despite what that word is, it is clearly the employees money.


In reference to your example, I take it you must feel good about yourself, playing God I mean. Being in a position to not help out a GENUINELY sick employee by choice... bet it gives u a hard on.
Compassion can be so hard for some.
What if it were your father ???
You have described in 1 sentence the type of man I aspire to never become.

OK, what about the compassion of the employee to not abuse the system for 30 years. The trouble is, we give TOO much compassion. We are not helping the situation by rescuing people! People need to understand that there are consequences for their actions. And no, I didn't get a hard on (very classy). I actually feel for this employee. BUT THEY HAVEN'T HELPED themself. Annual leave IS NOT THE SAME as sick leave. In our department, that is costed, along with paid parental etc. SICK LEAVE is not. So, annual leave is for holidays.
