Many jobs have mental health days- when you need to get away this badly I call it a mental health day to my parents I call it a personal day. You come back so refreshed and feel appreciated.
They do pay for the slot. If parents keep their kids home for vacation or sick days they still pay. I have one week paid vacation in the winter and paid federal holidays. I dont give myself sick or personal days bc I usually have a sub I can ask to fill in. I am expecting all the parents to take off these days and still pay for them like they have done in the past. Its a holiday and schools are closed so all usually stay he and still pay. If one choses not to stay home then I will be forced to take the days unpaid which I never do.
