The US tends to suck for many things worker related, I wasn't arguing about all the different policies. However, I double checked, all our Scottish employees have a "use it or lose it" rule on vacation days. They must use all their vacation days per calendar year. They get their vacation days on Jan 1st and if they don't use them by Dec 31st, they lose them. This is also the model the other employees have in the US, with the exception of the two of use who live in California where that type of policy is illegal.
Since you must know, I get 20 days of vacation a year plus all federal holidays (11 days). I don't get sick days, they come out of my vacation days. However I'm a high value employee and you're comparing me against the blue collar workers in Scotland. I believe they get either 15 or 20 vacation days per year and I don't really know about their sick day program. I hate the calendar "use it or lose it" vacation day plan and I think the California rules are much better.
