When you get sick, does your company still force you to go in office, take PTO, or will they let you work remotely? My old company would tell us to take PTO instead of working remotely while my new one allows working remotely

We get sick days and take them. The thinking is that if you're too sick to come in you can't work anyway, so it's not expected that you'd work from home. When I was home sick a few weeks ago I checked messages and emails, but I was too wobbly with the flu to do more than that, and no one expected me to be working.

We only have PTO and no sick days since it’s combined. I wish they also gave sick days

We have unlimited sick days and the policy is if you are too sick to come in, then you are too sick to work from home as well and should take the day off.

Wow thats a good amount of PTO days along with unlimited sick days

We either go in or use PTO. I hate wasting it on sick days, so I try to just slam meds and push through. If I'm SICK sick, I'll send the form, give my manager a heads up and go back to sleep.

We have one bank of PTO that you use whether you're sick or taking vacation. Starts at 10 days per year but changes to 20 for year 2 and beyond.
