@ capn_ron only one week?
What if get seriously ill like MS or cancer? does the gov cover that if you arent be able to work?- no. If you get sick over 5 days, you have to use your vacation until it runs out and then you don't get paid.capn_ron
- when it comes to a serious sickness like cancer or MS I don't know if insurance kicks in.capn_ron
- That goes into long-term disability which varies depending on insurance and such.hereswhatidid

In the US, you get a salary and are allowed to take two weeks off plus some sick days and not have anything happen to that salary.

In the UK by law it's 28 days, but this can include bank holidays by employer discretion, and it usually does in most places.
