As same sex marriage is legalised in more states in America, what implications does the US Supreme Court Ruling have for the same sex marriage debate in Australia?
A. No, you can only use an administrative leave day, personal holiday or vacation day. Sick time with pay is defined as a necessary period of absence because of illness or exposure to contagious disease. The illness of an employee should be recorded in the Absence Reporting System as S for sick. Sick time should not be taken for attending planned, routine medical or dental appointments.
Most companies also allow vacation time for employees in addition to their set amount of sick leave and personal days. Most companies allocate only a certain number of days for sick leave and personal time. For example, in a calendar year an employee could have five sick days and three personal days. If the employee fails to use them all in the given amount of time, the company must decide whether to allow employees to roll them over (that is, add or bank them to the number of sick days for the following year).
