Reply to comment by porkchameleon in COVID paid sick leave in PA? by HERCzero

Every job I’ve had they’ve lumped the PTO and sick time together. It’s great when you’re healthy that year and can use it all as vacation but sucks when you need to take off for being sick.

I've worked with:

  • no PTO or sick days (hourly; you could get a sick day with a Doctor's note, but the time was mandated by number of hours you worked (and YMWV depending on where you work, not all cities have, AFAIK))

  • PTO and unlimited sick days

  • unlimited PTO and a certain number of sick days, PTO could not be used for sick leave and vice versa

Lumped together one makes things tricky, but if it's OP's case - since work mandates 5 days leave, they oughta make those paid sick days outside of a policy (but I guess that would work in an ideal world).
