every company I’ve worked for has a separate pool for each. The usually has been maybe ~5 sick days and 1-4 weeks of vacation based on seniority. The issue is for anything worse than say one good cold a year those sick days aren’t good for much so you either have to use vacation to cover the gap or just lose pay. Things like pregnancy you get Fmla time but that is unpaid so you either burn vacation days or just don’t get paid for say post pregnancy recovery or cancer treatments etc. any European countries in desperate need of truck dispatchers?
