how many days off you get a year at your company?

[laFiera]

I currently work in one of those large corporations and we get 10 official vacation days, plus holidays, etc. I was interviewing with another company, and i asked them how many days a new employee gets a year, and i was shocked with their answer. They told me five days off. I have not been out in the market for jobs so now, i really wonder whats the normal time of vacation most companies give as i think 5 days is pure slavery!!!

New employees earn one day of vacation per month after the first two months. The next January, they get 10 days per calendar year.

I accrue a little under a day per month, with a cap of 15 days. After 5 years, it goes up to just a little over a day, with a cap of 25 I believe.

15 days vacation for all employees under 10 years. They changed it from 10 days last year. :thumbsup: Anyone over 10 years is 20 days.

Why do most american companies give so few days off? In Europe they seem to really understand the concept of vacation days.

I wouldn't take my job until they gave me 4 weeks vacation.

I get 15 days, plus they give us the Christmas week off paid. Plus half day Fridays

13 vacation days (2 hrs/wk), 13 sick days and 10 holidays. In two more years my vacation goes up to 20 days.

This year we get 12 holidays + 3 personal Holidays.

On top of that I get 4 weeks (20 days) of vacation time.

I am so jealous right now

12 days off for holidays. First year you get 12 days vacation and 12 days sick leave. The sick leave never expires and there is no cap. If I stay here and retire all my accrued sick leave will be paid at the rate my salary will be when I retire. Too bad I like playing hookey too much.

5 days.

 

[ggavinmoss]

15 day vacation, 9 rolling sick days (per 12 month period), 24 hours of "personal time," and all days the NYSE is closed.

15 vacation days, 13 holidays, unlimited sick days. But i only took 2 sick days in 2 yrs. <whisper> i wasnt even sick.

 

[Mr N8]

10 Vacation + 5 Holidays + 6 personal days accrued per year. It takes 8 years of employment to get 15 vacation days, here!

 

[abracadabra1]

30 days...Fly NAVY!

 

[whattaguy]

15 sick/vacation days
11 paid holidays

 

[BlueWeasel]

God, I need to work where some of you people are employed. I get 5 holidays, 5 sick days, and 10 vacation days. I get comp. time I can use, but I have work over 45-hours a week to earn even that.

 

[Rumpltzer]

80 hours of vacation for new employess that has to be used in 8 hour blocks. On top of that we shut down from Christmas Eve until the working day after January 1. There's also the random American holidays.

It depresses me a bit after taking about ten weeks of vacation a year all through grad school...

 

[Dead3ye]

< 1 yr. - 5 days
1 - 7 yrs. - 10 days
7 - 15 yrs. - 15 days
15 - 20 yrs. - 20 days
> 20 yrs. - 25 days

12 holidays, 1 personal, 10 sick.

 

[Mayfriday0529]

the most you can have is 21 days after that you dont get anymore so you need to use them, but thats only if you have worked at the company for over like 7 years.

for me i think i got 8 on first year now 9 and going probably for 10.

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

Now I get 15 days plus one floating holiday. New employees start out with 10. Not sure about sick days as I haven't used one in almost two years.
