Yes, and it’s a “sometimes” phenomenon, otherwise it may not roll over, often past a certain amount, and not cash out. A “benefit” that may simply disappear if left on the table.
I’ve never even worked a job with sick time. All my jobs had no time off at all, or have given me the same time off: 15 general days. Which is still better than what some get.
Sickness, doctor’s appointments, car crashes, dentist, job interviews, surgery, and jury duty have eaten most of my time off. I’ve gotten used to not vacationing.
I’m disabled so usually the vast majority of that time is just used on sickness. I get sick af anytime I catch anything respiratory.
That vacation cashout gets insanely taxed too, depending on where you go.
I'm gonna ask for a legit paystub/recipe for the one I just got because it's WILD that over 200 hours were supposedly cashed out to me, but I only received as much as a standard workweek.

Does sick leave payout mean getting money for unused sick days?
