Paid sick day abuse

So you are one of those people who believe the little guy gets screwed when they get sick and need time off.

At the Internal Revenue Service, one employee over a two-year period took sick leave on 13 of the 14 Tuesdays after a Monday holiday.

That's an extreme case of sick-leave abuse, but the IRS employee had plenty of co-workers who also liked to take Tuesdays off, a report by the Inspector General for Tax Administration found.

For weeks that had a holiday falling on a Monday, 27 percent of all sick leave at the IRS was taken on a Tuesday in 2005 and 2006, the report said. And 24 percent of all sick leave taken by IRS employees during non-holiday weeks was on a Monday.

Employees would never abuse a benefit right? Or maybe they just happen to all get sick from playing with their kids over the weekend.

So if you have business with the IRS soon; don't plan on doing anything Tuesday after this coming Memorial Day.
