How many days of vacation do you get?

[FrustratedUser]

I get 2 days/month = 24 days/year.

 

[AreaCode707]

I work for a wireless company through a staffing co. No days until I hit a certain number of hours. I'm not there yet.

 

[FrustratedUser]

How can that be? Doesn't companies usually offer x days/month?

Staffing co. After I work x number of hours I get x number of days off. I won't have enough hours by Christmas to get paid for that day off, etc.

6 weeks. I normally only take 4. I can't carry any over either

Ahh sorry, the brain didn't process the information correctly the first time.

 

[N8Magic]

3 weeks paid vacation here, but it will be 4 weeks starting next year.

 

[Nocturnal]

I accrue one day every month for PTO. I don't get any paid vacation. Just PTO. So twelve days a year, every year.

 

[Chaotic42]

14/yr paid.

 

[lukatmyshu]

6 Weeks a year .... thats incredible.

 

[BlueWeasel]

24 days a year? 6 weeks a year? Man, that sounds like a lot of vacation, or does that include personal/sick days too?

Makes my 2 weeks per year seem like nothing.

 

[FrustratedUser]

12 days $ucks. Is that the norm in US?

 

[rudeguy]

I dont get paid days off...I get my weekly average times two, every year on my anniversary

No, my 24 is vacation only.

 

[DrPizza]

counting holidays, vacation, sick, and personal days, I get 63-64 days off per year... But, I never use the personal or sick time. (I work 182 days per year, but few of those days are only 8 hours long)

 

[Siddhartha]

25

 

[FoBoT]

i don't know, 15 days/yr i think
you start at 10 and go up 1 per year, i have worked for this company for 5 years now

 

[dartworth]

0...

"take off what you can afford."

sigh

 

[TheToOTaLL]

12 days paid, but since I work for a small company, I can usually get by with squeezing out a few more if I do a little bit of work at home. After this Wednesday, I'll get to enjoy the rest of the year at home with my wife and newborn son

 

[Curly01]

5 weeks per year. Use them or lose them.

 

[EmperorIQ]

I usually get about 21 days during the holidays, and an extra week around the beginning of spring, wow!

the best part is my 3 months during summer, however i can choose to work during those times if i want to

 

[Triumph]

How bout posting more detailed info? How long you've been working, what country, etc.

Gov't gets 13 days a year till 3 years, then you get 20, then you get 26 after 15 years. Plus 10 holidays. So right now I get 23 days off total.

I also do 9 hour days, so I get every other Friday off. That is really nice.

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

I don't get any really, I'm 16 and work in a custom screenprinting/embroidery/sporting goods store so I don't expect to If I want a day off or something my boss will let me as long as its not too often but none of it is paid..

 

[Aztech]

It would be more interesting if you tell what kind of job you have, who you work for, and how long you been there IMHO.

As a civilian working for the NAVY (Federal Gov. job), the leave benefits are pretty good once you've been there a while.

I think Americans get/take much less vacation time compared to Europeans. I think most Europeans take three to four week vacations in the summer, which is awesome! You need a long vacation to really let your mind relax and enjoy yourself.

 

[DaveJ]

Right now I have 264 hours of vacation accumulated (just over 6 weeks), and it carries over... that's in addition to the 200+ hours of sick leave (max of 6 months accumulation allowed). Did I mention I have the week between Christmas and New Year's off, and I'm still paid? I love my job... I get off on the 24th and don't go back to work until 1/5/04...
