Yeah - mine actually pays out to not use it! 
I'd rather just come to work sick, then take the money for a good healthy day!

Ours doesn't pay out, but it also doesn't expire... a few people in my group have capped out their vacation AND sick time (somewhere in the neighborhood of 240 hours (6 weeks of each... 
)... I think when they retire they'll get 12 weeks of pay though.

That must be nice. Vacation time is use it or lose it... Sick time is paid out.

When I didn't get sick much, I used my sick days as short notice vacation time.

Well, I think it's kinda pathetic that they're so tied to their job that they never use their vacation.
I had 2 days of vacation left about 1 month before it expired. Took about 3 hrs to plan a mini weekend vacation with the girlfriend to use it!
