Gonna be that guy, but…. Good. I’d have fired her too.

Nah, fuck that. If she had sick days they are hers to decide how to use em.

Uhh, no. Sick days are for when you’re sick. Annual leave is for when you do stuff like this.

Christ, this platform beggars belief sometimes.

Are they separate for her? Does unused sick time get paid out like leave time if unused? Or do they have unlimited sick time?

I my experience with teaching in the U.S. sick days do get paid out at retirement. Teachers typically get 10 sick days a year and 3 personal days. The sick days stack but personal days turn to sick days after you have 5 banked.
