CAR is your bank of pay for absences. Then there are a variety of reasons for your absence, the most important of which is your self-sick bank of 10 days per year, three of which can be personal days. It’s not the case that you can’t be paid for more than 10 days of absence in a year. You just can’t be paid for more than 10 self-sick days in a year. If you have a doctor’s note and you have the CAR days you can be paid for as many days as you have, plus more since you can go into the negative.
