I employ 100 staff, rough statistics: 20 people use up their full entitlement each year, another 20 sometimes use their 10 days, and sometimes not; and the other 60 use 2-3 days per year.
timmmay: Where I work there's thousands of staff, I doubt anyone gets extra leave unless they have a generous immediate manager.
Maybe I had it easy with my GGMs or execs but the only two times where HR in the various places I worked in (all very large corporates) resisted my attempts at doing the right thing by my people (and the resistance was actually pretty low level - just asked a few questions) they either came down like the Hiroshima nuke on them or just told me to ignore HR.

It’s always the same people in each category.
Are there many in the first 20 that have young families ? Or are looking after elderly relatives ?
When my kids were young, I was taking most of my sick leave to look after them when they were ill. Now that my kids are now adults, I no longer use much of my sick leave - maybe 2-3 days for myself per year.
Though I seem to have taken a few more days this year to attend to my elderly mums health needs - doctors and hospital visits.
