For the first time since i started i have used my pto and sick time. I have about 32 hrs left fir 2026. What if i need and extra day or two? Do i go in the red and it is deducted when new time is alloted in the new year or will it just not accept my time off request? My requests get automatically approved. I guess my manager has it setup thst way if that is possible. Not sure about that, so not sure if it will auto approve and balance in the new year or deduct.

I would be careful. Using vacation days in lieu of sick days leaves everything to manager discretion. My manager wrote me up over the issue, even though I gave notice that I would run out months earlier.
All hours need to be accounted for using regular working hours or benefit time. The bank doesn't allow for unpaid time unless it's a Sedgwick approved unpaid leave. If you use vacation time, that is completely fine as long as your manager approves it. OI (sick) time is meant for the unexpected call-outs or scheduled appointments.
@OP If you run out, you can utilize vacation days until that also runs out, then your pay is docked. However, short term disability kicks in at 14 days (provided that you have health insurance) which then pays you either 50% or 60% of your normal gross pay depending upon which option you selected during open enrollment.
