" 25 years and over there is NO maximum paid days in a calendar year. "

Yes and no. At a certain point your excessive use of sick days becomes an " attendance problem ". We had one who abused it to the point of 75-100 days per YEAR until her new reporting manager put a stop to it. ( HR and Labor Relations were involved as well )

Short version: Yes, there is no limit but that doesn't mean you can simply call in sick every day and still collect a paycheck. They WILL fire you over your attendance if it becomes an issue.

They can harass you with discipline but file a grievance and use up their time in meetings. It’s contractual so they don’t have a leg to stand on also the Union can file with Department of Labor for breach of contract.

In my yard - you need a note from the Coroner to get paid for sick days.

Don't forget the progressive discipline up to and including termination for each sick occurance if you use your sick days.
