      You don’t get paid for that. For most people if it’s unpaid then you just can’t afford to take off work.

        I guess I interpreted “sick days” as unpaid. When I’m sick I don’t waste PTO so I wouldn’t call it that.

          Not all places combine sick and PTO, that’s why they differentiate them as “sick days”

          I’ve worked places that gave x days PTO and y days for sick leave, though it’s fucking stupid and prefer where I work now that just lumps the 2 together into one big time off pool

            Where I work now is really weird as far as time off goes. I don’t get a limited number of vacation days. But I do have a limited number of paid sick days.
