what is the required sick days a employer is to give employee?

Answer 1

None, depending on the State where you reside, unless you can prove you by a Dr.'s excuse that you are medically unable to work and possibly qualify for FLMA.

"Sick Days" are usually set by the employer as to what is allowed, unless there is a verifiable disablity.

Answer 2

Sick days just like vacation days are employer decided benefits. They don't have to offer either one. Now if you AND your employer (this half is important because not all employers qualify under the law to have to offer the protection) qualify under the FMLA Act they must grant you up to 12 weeks UNPAID leave in a rolling 12 month period.

For information on this goto www.dol.gov and click on one of the links for FMLA. They'll have the rules to see if you qualify, and if your employer qualifys for you to use FMLA protection for unpaid time off.
