Paid parental and sick leave isn’t law there? I thought you guys had at least that one.
Often the government also pays for parental leave. Places like Australia it’s up to 26 weeks at minimum wage to help families settle in with newborns and new costs.
In the land of the free it’s the companies that are free to do whatever and people have limited rights
Medicine In The Caring Home…pays for all prescriptions, doctor and nurse visits, hides actual ability or response time to public, continues to hold contracts far out of date…
Off topic, but shout out to the Ubuntu font for looking so nice. Love to see someone using it in the wild
Off topic, but how many asses have you assassinated?

Wait a second. This is a meme community so I assume you’re joking but… don’t you lot have paid sick leave or parental leave?
If I got this right, you usually have a limited amount of sick days in the US. If they’re out, you’re out of luck.
You’re right, and that’s IF you’re lucky enough to be granted sick leave. It’s not a legal requirement. I, for example, have none. When I’m sick I don’t get paid.
This is so outlandish to me. There are so many studies that show how bad this is, also on an economical level…
Meanwhile my colleagues can even call in sick when their kids are ill.The modern US is very anti-science 😭
Often times there’s no distinction between sick time and leave. So if you take a day off because your sick that’s one less day for a vacation.
Some jobs don’t even give you leave. You don’t work you don’t get paid.
You actually don’t have any guaranteed sick leave. Some companies will give a few days to you for exclusive sick leave, some will require you to use your PTO, some (like my current) require a doctor’s note for any sick leave use, some don’t.
Now you start to understand how COVID spread so fast here.
