In general, I wish my job offered sick days that aren’t lumped into PTO. This may be especially helpful to parents and those trying to become parents, but obviously would be helpful to everyone.
That’s great that it can be used for appts
My old job had unlimited sick time and people barely used it but it was nice to know it was there. At this job, 10 of our PTO days have to be taken as two weeks of consecutive vacation, which is nice because it ensures that ppl use their days, but it leaves less flexibility with remaining days.
Pro
Longer parental leave for me. Better financial coverage for fertility treatments. And more flexible WFH policies to make it easier to balance work and appointments (and make it easier to hide the appointments, candidly).
Real financial coverage for fertility and egg freezing. I’m fortunate in that I currently have good sick leave (unlimited), flexible WFH, and decent parental leave (18 weeks, though longer would be better), but I have hardly any coverage for fertility.
