Hi David,
It appears that Pittsburg has a sick leave law, but Pennsylvania doesn’t. However, if I’m reading your question correctly, it sounds like your company allows you to carry over 40 hours of unused sick leave at year end, PLUS they give you 40 hours each year. To me, that makes it sound as if (in case of medical or authorized sick leave use) you could use 80 hours in one year, but anything left over at the end of that timeframe over 40 hours would be lost.
Unless they’re in Pittsburg, it looks like your employer isn’t required to provide sick leave at all. And perhaps their documentation is not clear. I’ve attached the .gov information for you. I suggest you chat with HR to clarify what they do and don’t allow (they are required to abide by their own policy). I’m guessing if it’s not clear to you, others in your company may have questions too!
Best!
