Thank you for the replies, Let me clear the misunderstandings up. I do not want to use all of my 30 days sick leave I just want what I am legally entitled too and to be paid if anything bad does happen in the future, they know that I am not going to take 30 days off or use them all. In my school I was told that I am entitled to one week off if I work the full year (which I always do work the contracts), the sick days I have taken are ten days because I had an emergency back in my home country . I do not have any paid time off unless I either use my sick pay or personal leave, we do not get any school holidays we work straight through and we have just the songkran days paid and the national holiday days.
