I've always heard them referred ro as PTO (Paid Time Off)...
The concept is that you don't have, say, 2 weeks of "Vacation" and 1 week of "Sick Days", you get 3 weeks of PTO. You manage it yourself. It's nice because if the powder up at Mammoth is awesome, you can call in and say, "I'm taking a PTO day!" rather than calling in and saying, "I'm *cough* *cough* really sick today..." You also don't get into the whole, "I need a sick day because my kid is sick."
Most companies will also let you accumulate PTO whereas companies with "vacation" and "sick days" don't usually let you accumulate "sick days."
