Did you know many healthcare workers get little or no paid sick time?

It's true. Our warped, sick work culture is being completely exposed by the virus.

Indeed disgusting, but try 30/32.5 hours a week limit just to avoid giving you ANY benefits, dig into that, it's a real abuse of workers.

I wonder if any of those folks slack off or worse?

And just disposable since no one can stay long or want to being treated to that BS?

And you could accrue it. When I retired I got some money for un used sick days..
Now I don't know about doctors offices or free standing clinics... YMMV
