see i thought that was near non existant these days... not many people i know get to carry over there sick leave... some carry over there annual but not all too... we dont... we either use it or get paid out for it at the end of the year.
i dont mind using it... it basically means im off 20 weeks out of the year which is fine with me.
but 2000 hours sick leave!! lol thats insane... my mum had something similar when she worked for the govt in NZ... her annual leave pay out after 20 something years alone was over 150k... then she had sick leave and her long service.
couldnt imagine something like that... i like taking sickies too much
