But ya the 90 sick days is ridiculous, and there are plenty of people that abuse it to a small degree. Whether it be generating themselves a 4 day work week, to those that know once you take the 90 short term you have to work one day and it resets back to 90. So ya, there are "90 and 1 'ers" as we called them and basically every school I worked at in Calgary had one or two of them.
Interesting - I’ve worked at a few schools and never encountered a person doing that. When I took short-term disability a few years ago for a chronic pain episode I was dealing with, I went back for 2 days and then was off again, and my 90 days never reset because it was the same medical condition.
