We have a city-wide policy that, once you have a

certain amount of sick hours built up, you can turn

them into vacation days. However, you have to have

something like 1000 hours. I have been there 4.5

years, only used one day and only have 280 hours.

Well, I guess you can't count the last year and a

half, since I didn't accumulate sick leave while I was

gone. But, it still takes a while to get there.

We have a buy back policy. After your bank is maxed out once a year the

department buys back any unused sick time at 50 cents on the dollar. Makes a

nice extra check around the second week of July.

We can donate ours to someone who needs it -- like if someone needs or you just

want to give someone more paternity/maternity leave. Otherwise we get ALL our

sick time tagged onto our retirement -- but you gotta retire out of the

department.
