So if you get 10 sick days a year and a parent gets 10 sick days a year - amoxy Mar 27, 08:22 4
- The point as I understand it being: there are more acceptable uses of that time for a married person with kids than a single person. - TFox Mar 27, 08:32 3
  - This is sorta where I fall. I really believe that society here needs to promote family growth, so I can accept this usage to a point. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 27, 08:36
  - say a single person actually gets sick and uses them all. is that unfair to healthy people? -- nm - loosilu Mar 27, 08:34 1
    - technically? yeah. but that speaks more to why having a "sick days" benefit is inherently dicier than a PTO system. - TFox Mar 27, 08:38
so people with kids might eat all their vacation time. therefore they're not allowed to have vactaions? -- nm - loosilu Mar 27, 08:22 2
- Isn't Vaction time objective and sick time subjective? -- nm - lileve Mar 27, 08:24 1
  - Vacation. -- nm - lileve Mar 27, 08:24
it's not a vaccation to take care of a sick kid (well depending ofcourse) - Danedukenuuk Mar 27, 08:20 4
- Well, technically, they don't have the right to more than one "family leave" type day per year according to Manitoba labour law, so no, they are not.. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 27, 08:23 3
  - So per Manitoba law, a parent gets one "Sick Kid" day - amoxy Mar 27, 08:24 2
    - Essentially. The law reads seven days per year for sick days thought, so we'll pretty run that one out. But here's the thing... - Name Withheld By Request Mar 27, 08:32 1
      - Those that abuse the "leave" days makes it really difficult for those who don't to turn a blind eye. - Danedukenuuk Mar 27, 08:38
