My company just transitioned to a system where we get 30 days of paid leave annually. Sounds good for an American company, right? But that 30 days includes every category of leave (except parental, which is at least something, but only applies when your child is born.)
So in addition to maybe you want to take a vacation, this "bank" of leave also includes sick days, medical appointments, anything related to your kids after they're born, jury duty (you're required by federal law to attend if selected) and everything else. This is completely legal where I live btw.
My company does the same, but you start with 5 days and get more the longer you're with the company. You max out at 25 days after 10 years as an employee.
It is your duty to cough on managers every time you're encouraged to come in sick.
