>She was fortunate. In most companies you can only carry over around 10 days. Anything over that is just lost for good. When I worked for the federal government, you could only carry over 10 days of vacation days but all of the sick days could be carried over indefinitely.

I left the SCSO with several hundred days (over 2 years worth) that I didn't get paid for. They gave me about 5500.00 as I recall. Oh well!
