No? Why would I use vacation time for that? I'm not on vacation or taking a break. I'm taking care of a sick family member. Thankfully we have a system for that

No? Why would I use vacation time for that? I'm not on vacation or taking a break. I'm taking care of a sick family member. Thankfully we have a system for that known as VAB[1] in Sweden that covers this case.

- jessaustin 10y agoSo Sweden has something set up for this, but it still isn't called "sick leave". How is that relevant to GP's specific point?
- justifier 10y agoWhere do you live? Your local government might have those same allowances.. know your rights Here's California Labor Code section 246.5(o): Diagnosis, care, or treatment of an existing health condition of, or preventive care for, an employee or an employee’s family member.

- daenney 10y agoThe GP comment is: > I don't agree with the policy but surely you use vacation time not sick leave when your children are sick? My reply to it is "No". I surely don't use vacation time instead of sick leave to care for sick family members. I can't really make this any clearer and as far as relevant to GP's point, it's an answer to their question. Even if we didn't have that system I wouldn't take out vacation days should this problem show up. It's not vacation.
