2. Clean your clothes and bedding.

To be clear, many American companies do provide paid leave. According to CEPR, 77 percent of private sector companies offer employees at least some paid vacation, and those workers get an average of 21 paid days. Still, that leaves nearly 1 in 4 Americans without any guarantee of paid time off from work.
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).
