        I don't see any issues with this. We get the same benefit in the military.

        He didn't call in sick for 1,250 days. He deserves his money.

        Maybe it would be more fiscally responsible to limit & cap sick leave carry over annually. Otherwise we get these windfalls & highertuitions

        Gov workers are fleecing the people paying their salary. This needs to stop.

        Well the college should not have a policy where they roll over! I bet they change that now!

        Why not. Do you want employees using sick time at Christmas just so they don't lose them. Perfect attendance is a good thing

        Not everyone celebrates Christmas but that may be better than a pay out of $266K! which is the point of the article.

        It's a bad point and about a non issue No difference than paying it out over his 46 years. Kids get perfect attendance awards.

        Even by our standards, that's excessive accumulation. Some rules clearly need to change. A little is okay but that's just insane.

        It has to be fiscally responsible & this does not fall under that duty for Mass. . Most corps do "use it or lose it". Someone asleep in HR.

        That's a stupid policy. Sorry he had a good job with a good contract. Jealous isn't a reason to change

        Accumulated sick days could serve as a short term disability program but NOT as a golden payout upon retirement. #TaxReform #Savings

        What's the difference if it's a lump sum at retirement or paid through this career? He earned them. Be happy for him not jealous

        It just seems sick days are for sickness and not some type of long term savings program that when publicly funded burdens the taxpayer more.

        Yep and he wasn't sick so his contract allowed him to cash them in. No different than unused vacation or comp time.
