>vacation is a luxury, sick days are a necessity.
In many places (Europe, generally?), vacation days are earned. At least in the Netherlands if you were absent for weeks due to illness (for which there is no fixed pool of days), and decided not to take any vacation days, you'd either have some of your vacation days rolled over to the next year or they'd be paid out to you with salary and taxed.
It's not a luxury in the slightest. You'd have earned them just as you earned your wages.
- ciceryadam 6y agoHow's it in Netherlands in case of long term sickness? In Czech Republic we have the time off accrued based on worked hours. If you are out sick 2 weeks, you don't earn holiday time for these days. So instead of they yearly 25 days off you'll only have 24. But parental leave is considered as work, so if you come back after your parental leave, you have your full amount.
