We have a VERY generous vacation and sick leave policy.  We accrue 2 days of vacation/personal time per month.  You cannot accrue more than 24 days at any time.  In other words, if you have 24 days in your "bank", you do not accrue any more until you take some.  I  have been here for so many years that I am not sure how many years you have to be here to get to the 2 days a month.  I think it is something like 3 to 5 years.  I also forget how many sick days we accrue per month.  I do know that we can accrue up to 90 days in our "bank" before we stop accruing them.  One time I had to have emergency surgery and would be out of work for 2 weeks.  How nice it was to be able to call my supervisor and tell her to charge me with 10 days of sick time without blinking an eye or losing any vacation time!
