They don’t pay unused sick time.

They tax unused vacation time at 40%.

Use as much sick time as you need and take your vacation time.

Its not taxed at 40 percent. You're probably seeing an increased withholding rate. When employers pay out a lump sum like a bonus or vacation payout, payroll treats it like your normal pay and assumes you're making that every pay period, so the withholding amount increases. You've simply overpaid on your taxes and will get that money back in your tax refund.
