In the US you often get 10-20 sick days per year, not more.
Edit: This is what I have experienced and I meant this as a ridiculously low number. I had no idea that people would get even less.
- TylerE 6y agoYou mean 1-2? The vast majority in the US don’t get 10 days of vacation, never mind sick/personal days.
- jeffbee 6y agoThe majority of hourly wage workers in the US do not get any paid sick days at all.
- vinay427 6y agoThat's not true in the states I've lived in and a few others I spot checked. I couldn't find a list with every state yet.
- TylerE 6y agoOnly required by law in 12 states + DC
- vinay427 6y agoFor the purposes of my curiosity, do you have a list? I'm wondering if those states actually include a majority of Americans.
- TylerE 6y agoArizona, California, Connecticut, DC, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington
- testbot123 6y agoMaine doesn't go into effect until 2021. Rough population count [1] of those states divided by population of 50 states + DC is 0.3032003614019388. Edit: most of those are also capped at 40 hours a year, which amount to one week maximum sick leave.

- benglish11 6y agoIn California (where this Tesla factory is located) sick leave is required by law for all employees.
- TylerE 6y agoOnly 5 days though, not weeks.
- ardy42 6y ago> In the US you often get 10-20 sick days per year, not more. If you get that many in the US, you're probably actually getting "PTO," which combines sick days and paid vacation to make the vacation benefit seem better than it actually is. For instance, I knew someone who worked for a company literally called Grimco, who only got 10 days PTO per year.
