We get 12 days/ year for sick leave, which can be accumulated and carried over from year to year, with no maximum.



On AL, for the first 4 years with the company you earn 12 days / year.  From 5-10 you earn 18 days / year, and for 10+ years with the company you earn 24 days/year.  These days can be accumulated from year to year too, with a maximum of 30 days carried over.  When this point is reached, AL is "Use or Lose".  Can't wait till I get there!!



And since all of our leave is actually earned by hours, we only take the amount of leave we're actually gone.  If I leave 30 minutes early, it's only 30 minutes of AL or SL used instead of a whole day (which is the way my cousin's office is).



We also have FMLA, which incorporates our SL.  We can take up to 40 hours of FMLA, but it subtracts from our SL balance.  If we have to be out for an extended time and run out of SL, then we can use our AL, and the entire time we're off on paid leave, we're earning more so it's a good situation.  Plus we get all the Federal Holidays off.  Not a bad place to work.
