Reply To: Taking off for yomtov as Public School employee

Thanks for your replies. The school gives off the first day of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. That leaves me with 5 days right now that I need to take off. I get 10 sick days and 3 personal. Officially, one is not supposed to use sick days for other things than illness. In addition, I am a woman with children who sometimes get sick, and I have been known to get sick myself, so I didn’t want to have to use up half my sick days right off the bat. I hope to speak to HR tomorrow, but I thought it would be smart to have some info or knowledge beforehand. thanks.
