So far the companies I've worked at don't have "vacation" or "sick" days, they have "paid time off" (which is really great if you're healthy and really shitty if you're not).

Atleast in Finland there is a clear, legal, distiction between vacation and sick days. They are not exchangeable in any way.

Exactly. You can be out legitimately sick for 2 weeks, and then take a full vacation!

That's why it's such a breach of trust here to take a sick day in order to relax. A sick day is to recover from illness.
