Treat yo self! They are called mental health days!I was shocked when we went to 10 sick days. Shocked. Rattled even. But serious OP, you have 3 personal days, 11 firm holidays, 15 days of PTO some serious flexibility, oh the week of July 4th off... and you need to use your sick days?

I think it's fine. My guess is that a limited number of people were abusing the sick leave policy and taking lots o' days. So you can use your 10 to stay home and watch Netflix.

I’ve never charged sick days when I wasn’t actually sick but I’ve seen so many people using sick days as vacation days after EY changed from unlimited sick days to 10

Good luck trying to make that argument lol other accounting firms also have unlimited vacation, so you should be able to take off whenever you want tbh

Which makes me feel like we should be able to charge sick days when I just need a couple days off

Whaaaattt I guess I didn’t notice that when I first started. We accrue hours with each paycheck?

Is this a serious question? You have to know the official answer to this. But if you were to charge some as vacation here and there, I don’t think anyone would notice..
