@Syav- Hope you feel better soon. That sucks about not getting paid when you're sick. I'm fortunate enough to receive PTO when I'm out of work. I accrue so many hours per pay period, which is determined on how many years you've worked for the company. Comes in handy when I get put on call or called off for low census. And there's always getting paid while vacationing.
PTO is nice. We get a lump sum at the start of each year. This year I have a little over 7 weeks to burn...
