White Satin--I'm glad that's working out for you but to me it sounds crazy! In fact, being up for termination due to illness, your own or your family's, sounds a point shy of discrimination to me. What about serious illnesses (such as cancer), or pregnancy? You work for the government, right? Guess I wouldn't last very long where you work (more due to complaining than actual  illness, though!)

Here we get 40 hours' paid sick leave per year, and you can carry up to 40 over into the next year. We get 2 weeks' vacation, which is accrued at 6.67 hours monthly, and 8 paid holidays (including 1 floating). You can carry over up to 80 hours of vacation time (however that is not encouraged). Exempt employees get comp. time and employees who've been here 5 years or more get 3 weeks vacation. Also they give paid time off for jury duty. All in all it's a pretty good deal.
