Confused about sick day/occurence policy

[jss1985, ASN, RN]

Im a tech who works a union job. We have 5 day work weeks and 2 sick days count as one occurence and dont require doctors note. We can have 2 occurences in a yearly quarter (3 month period).

However our state has this 40 hour sick law where if u are sick more than 40 hours in a year u might get a warning.

Im confused how this works with us healthcare ppl whose "2 sick days" are supposed to count as "one"?

So if u have 3 occurences in one year (8 hrs x 6 days = 48 hours) thats a warning even tho they occured within separate quarters of the year? Im confused...

Two occurrences in a quarter! WOW! That's a generous policy. We get three in a year. I would guess that what it means is that you can have two occurrences in any one quarter without triggering a warning, but that doesn't mean you can have two occurrences EVERY quarter.

I see. So even if u have only 3 occurences(48 hours) for the whole year, then that would trigger the consequences of my state's 40 hour sick law?

On a separate note, what if you only use 1 sick day instead of 2 in a row? Is there anything wrong with that?
