Anyone else get to do this? I must say that it is so sweet this time of year... getting to sell back 32 hours of sick time and getting a nice check in return.
we don't have sick/vacation days separate, we only have PTO.
and i just don't understand people who build it up to 100+ hours or so.
it's good to take time off every now and then, and to go on vacations. it's not healthy to work work work and never have time for yourself.
at my new job they highly encourage taking time off.

This. I may have to have surgery and I could be out 4 months.My 500 or so hours of sick time is something I consider Short Term Disability. Long term disability pays only 70% and goes into effect after a minimum of 4 months. In the unfortunate event that I live through a bad car wreck, my family is covered.
This is probably the best company policy.I don't get to sell it back, I just build it up and use it to take extra vacations.
Can't sell back sick. Used to be able to cash out 80 hours of PTO but they yanked that last year. Lot of people pissed over that one. We have A LOT of highly tenured employees...20+ years of service that are accruing like 8 hours of PTO per pay period. They simply couldn't take enough time off a year so they would cash out two weeks at Christmas.
Not any more.

I need to work for your company. We get 64 hours sick time each year, but it doesn't roll over.
