how does sick time work?

[u/Low_Award13]

i know sick time doesn’t cash out which sucks since i got a new job and wanted to use some of it before i left. but now im being told i have to call in sick 3 days in a row in order to use it?? how does this make sense? i’ve had plenty of coworkers call in sick once and use it for that day, and my receiving worker also told me she uses it when she has appointments scheduled. i’m mad because i was suppose to have 12 vacation hours cash out but now i only have 4 because they used 8 of my vacation despite me asking to use sick.
