no, sick days are calculated separately. I usually take my main vacay at Christmas time, combining it with paid holidays (usually 2) so stretch it that way.

For me, my annual leave must be used if I call in sick. I get no sick days. So it sounds like I have a lot of leave, and I do because I've been here so long, but I don't have sick days.

On the one hand, the system my firm has is better, because I can manage my time and if I'm not sick, I can take a lot of vacations. It's good for my employer because you don't have people calling in sick on a Monday simply because they just don't feel like coming in. It would take away from the big vacation plans they have. But on the other hand, it's bad because when people really are sick, they sometime come in instead of staying home and keeping their germs away because they want to use their leave for vacations.
