1. Personal use days are days that the employee can schedule for any use or can use in time of sickness. When the days are designated as personal use days, the employee does not have to be deceitful when using a day for personal time rather than when sick.
2. When the number of sick days is limited, employees tend to use days to avoid losing the benefit.
3. Limiting the amount of sick time an employee can use would work as a disadvantage to loyal employees who happen to have an extended illness.
4. Allowing employees to trade sick time for money would be an unmanageable strain on the budget. Employees might trade in all sick time and then become ill and not have a sick time bank.
