    The minimum for New York is 40 hours of sick time a year that has to be earned. This had to be fought for.

      Sick time allowance is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard as an European, if you are sick you are sick until you are not sick, it’s not the company that decides when you are cured.

        It’s bad policy too, it encourages people to go to work while ill, spreading illness along their workmates

          I had a boss that would send you immediately home if you came to work with a visible cold, he would say I rather have one person home now than have the whole office sick in the coming weeks

            Yeah, as a team leader I have sent people home. I don’t want my whole team sick
