Ask HN: Do you have more sick time than you can use?

At my job we don't accrue sick time. We therefore don't feel like we are missing out if we don't get sick. We are given a set number of holiday days and just get sick pay as standard. The longer we are off pay gets gradually reduced until it becomes unpaid leave.

The upside of your company is if you ever had a larger injury you would be covered, where as after 6 weeks my pay would be a lot lower than full amount.

As long as it rolls over to the next year I think that's reasonable enough that you can't cash it out.

That might not be entirely true. After 5 days, I would have to declare a leave of a some kind. (Not sure how that works with sick time, if I could use that continuously even while on medical leave.)
