While this has been true in the past, it has gotten a lot better over time. My last job at Ikea (which I know is foreign, but American places are matching it due to labor shortages) gave me both PTO (Paid Time Off) and PST (Paid Sick Time) and I was seasonal and part time (30 hours per week) making $9/hr. Within two months of working there I accrued 40 hours of PTO and had six sick days that I could use throughout the year (which I didn't use upon leaving.) Sure, it isn't like the benefits in other countries, but the work mentality in the U.S is different from a cultural perspective and we prioritize different things (cheaper prices on goods for example.) |
well that is good to hear. I don't think any person who is a hard working person does not deserve to have sick time off. if it is genuine.
one a side note my old employeer had unlimited sick days and there were people who had serious illness or injury who had been off work for two years.
my current employeer you have to accumulate. I htink I gotu about 9weeks worth of sick leave saved up.
