This year we get 12 holidays + 3 personal Holidays.

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

:Q


I am so jealous right now

Additionally, we have "unlimited" sick time, though they recommend you not exceed 10 days.

I get 20 days holiday leave and 18 days flexiday time so I guess 40 In another two years my holiday leave will go up to 25 days.

Edit: That doesn't include bank holidays.

Per Month:
10 hours vacation
08 hours sick leave

Per year:
13 Holidays
01 Personal day
If I have to work a Holiday I get 1.5 over time and 8 hours Holiday Credit.

Plus:
I can claim CTO (Compensated Time Off) for overtime worked. For a max of 75 hours (almost 2 weeks).

Between CTO and Holiday Credits I took two weeks off this summer and didn't have to touch my vacation.

I can carry up to 640 hours of vacation from year to year.

 

[Danman]

I got 10 days of sick time, 10 days of vacation, and then 3 days of personal leave. That's what I got when I started here.

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

That would make my boss a European because I am quite certain he is a blood relative to Hitler.

Accrue 1.25 days a month during the first two years I think. After that it is a bit more. We get the usual holidays on top of that but we also get 12/24-1/2 off.

Hahaha!

I get 15 days (10+5 holidays). I think I get an extra week at 10yrs. I get to work from home though, so, flex time is priceless.

You can negotiate your vacation package. If they want you they'll throw in an extra week or try and match your current offering. If not, well, I guess the choice is yours, right.

 

[bcterps]

20 vacation days
8 paid time off days (sick leave basically, but you can use it for whatever you want)
10 holidays

 

[Drakkon]

25 PTO days + 10 holidays + 5 carryover per year

 

[DaveJ]

I can accrue a max of 264 hours vacation time (about 6 weeks), and up to 6 months of sick leave. I get 14.67 hours of vacation and 8 hours sick leave a month IIRC. Currently I'm maxed out on vacation and I have about 7 weeks of sick leave. We also get a few holidays off, and the week between Xmas and New Year's too. I love this job.

[edit] Also, your vacation/sick leave hours carry over year to year, but once you hit the limit for each you start losing time. Looks like I need to take a few vacation days.

Do you guys get weekends off? Be happy with that. Some people work 7 day weeks.

 

[neonerd]

as many as i want....ah the beuty of working for myself...

then again, i guess school is considered a job, so pretty much summer

 

[broon]

I get 20 days plus 6 holidays. 6 years in the company.

 

[Feldenak]

I get 5 days of PTO and 8 paid holidays. I've been with the company since 1998. I plan on dropping them like a bad habit when I graduate and (hopefully) land a job in May.

 

[azazyel]

1 hr per 14 worked

 

[Ryuson99]

they do hours where im at and when i add them up its like 6 weeks add in sick days and personals and it like 8 weeks off a year

i work for a non-profit our pay may not be that good but we get a million payed days off a year so yeah

 

[Descartes]

I'm self-employed, so none; however, I can take time off whenever I want. The bad thing is that I have to pay for my own time off, but the good part is that you generally make more than enough to compensate.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

22-days paid vacation
1-2 floating holidays per year
plus the standard 10 days off a year
unlimited sick

Received this after 2yrs on the job

Of course I'm expected to work 3-400 OT hrs a year

 

[Night201]

15 days. Next year will be 5 years and I'll get 20
