Sick of work days

What you really need to know is that we have 1 day off for xmas and 1 day for New Years. So if you’re at pwc or Kmpg now, you won’t like it

They can be used for preventative care appointments as well and for sick/preventative care for family members. So overall they are much more useful than just plain sick days. Previously we had unlimited sick days, but they could only be used if you were sick. We are now limited to 10 days a year but the usage is much broader and allows you to take care of sick family and even service animals

They are sick days

Do you need to provide a reason when using them?

I use them whenever I have an appointment or if I need to take my kids to an appointment. You can use them for actual sick days or anything else that falls under that category. No explanation necessary.

I think it depends on how strict your immediate team is. My team is pretty nice about these sorts of things so most people get away with using these as personal days when they go home for the holidays or vacation, since It can technically be used to take care of family, etc... Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
