There's better solutions to that, like allowing carryover (if people don't need to schedule all their PTO to be used before year's end, they can have some "slop" for unexpected needs), and/or allowing a certain amount of PTO to be used in arrears. If you separate out vacation and sick time, then employees need to lie to use all of their time off.

>If you separate out vacation and sick time, then employees need to lie to use all of their time off. This was historically mostly not a problem. People took vacation and they used sick time if they needed to (including I'm sure for the occasional hangover). Sick time wasn't "your" time to use up in the normal course of events. But it was there if you needed it. Sick time was never viewed as a benefit to maximize any more than health insurance was. Pooling them still leads to a "sucks to be you if you need to take a lot of sick leave." I guess that you can argue that's not the company's problem. But to me that's a generally un-empathetic attitude.
