Sick leave 'payout'

[Liz]

I once worked with a girl who joked about having 4 months of sick leave accrued

wow - I didn't know you could accrue sick leave like that?? I thought it 'reset' every year. I thought annual leave was the only thing to accrue like that.

I agree with the comments about obtaining a dr certificate for any sick leave she takes during the notice period.

No it accrues for the length of time you are working with one employer - my father worked for one place for 20 years and had several years of leave accrued at the end of that time- which of course he got nothing for.
