“I am very thankful that I had ample sick leave available.”

Bank your sick leave. Protect your future.

Chuck estimates that he used “maybe 3 to 4” days of sick leave during his first 20 years of service. Then in June 2007, what he thought was a reaction to medication turned in to quadruple bypass surgery, and he was unable to return to work for 8 weeks. “I am very thankful that I had ample sick leave available,” England says. “How comforting for my family to not have to worry where my next paycheck was coming from.”
