Hey, BeeCh... I know you weren't askin me - but YESSIREE, I surely do think LE have their hawk-eyes on JY (and clan - friends. colleagues).
I'm *really* intrigued about his work situation. It's 5 weeks tonight since he left Michelle for the "business trip" (which I think may have been a cold call...) and he's still with family in Brevard?
Unless he'd gone back to work and that one slipped me by...
Standard sick leave and holiday varies country to country, state to state, county to county ... here we get 30 working days leave per annum - which is essentially 6 weeks; and generally up to 12 working days sick leave per annum (first 2 days are ok, on 3rd day of sick leave a Dr's note is required).
The original reason sick leave is that long is due to the strict Islamic laws that allow a woman to stay off work on the first day of her period. Also, over here, if you have served with a company for 2 years or longer, on top of any accumulated leave (not sick leave, obviously) you're entitled to gratuities - which means one full week's full tax-free wage (7 days) per annum worked. So - if you've been with a company 10 years, you receive 6 weeks full pay.
I've worked in US ('96) and if I recall the general annual leave was circa 14 days (can't remember if that's 10 or 14 working days - help); in UK and Africa 21 working days or just on a month's annual leave; sometimes it varied depending on the company.
However - despite the generous or tight leave periods above - 5 weeks compassionate leave? Unusual - cicumstance specific, really.
Interesting ...
