20 vacation days per year.

Up to 3 good attendance days per year (1 for first 6 months of perfect attendance the previous year, 1 for the 2nd 6 months, and an extra if you have perfect attendance for the entire previous year)

So I have 23 this year.

Also have 14 paid holidays this year.

37 paid days off!

Oh, and it took 15 years of service to earn the 20 paid vacation days.

I also have the option to convert overtime to comp. time.

Up to 45 sick days per year, at the managers discression to approve (taking those causes the loss of good attendance days the following year though).

Do you work for a government agency or are you an exempt manager? Kentucky law forbids comp time to employees who are subject to the overtime laws.

"May my employer utilize "comp. time" for overtime hours?
Comp. time may not be given to an employee who is subject to the overtime law."

I know some states permit comp time for governmental agencies and managers who might otherwise not get paid overtime, but you say you have the option...

I'm exempt (on paper) from overtime, but that's at the manager's discression. At one time, I had to give the first five hours per week of OT back as FREE. Now, I get paid 100% OT. I'm not a manager, so I'm not sure that I should be exempt or not. Doesn't matter as I get paid OT anyway! I have the option to get comp. time and the manager has the option not to pay me overtime (but I can assure you that I would not be in that damn plant nearly as long and more than likely, I would start looking for a new job quickly).

Everyone was converted to "Salary" at my plant a few years back. All of the hourly employees are now Non-Exempt Salary, except the staff (engineers, managers, etc.). Not sure why they even bothered as the rules are the same as hourly for them.

Word of advice - be careful doing that. I was in a similar situation... one day, the company I worked for decided to cease allowing us to carry unused sick time forward. To "ease" the accounting of the new change they put all of our accrued time into a special fund that we could draw upon when we needed to use "short term disability" leave - translated, that means they robbed 99% of the people working there of the time they built up.

Does anyone else find it wrong that our society has (generally) accepted a 50 weeks of work for 2 weeks holiday way of life?

We have to spend all this time confined in our own little world until we are over 50 and then are given all the time in the world to a whole lot of nothing because our bodies start to fail and eventually we die.

I think it's sad.

 

[MegaVovaN]

A full month between first and second semester of college
Don't know wtf to do with this much time!

+ some time between spring and summer semester
+ some time between summer and fall semester

 

[nageov3t]

gonna have to look it up.

it was 2 weeks, but I might have slipped into the 3 week bracket on my 4-year anniversary back in November.

generally, I'll take 1 week-long vacation in the spring or fall and use the rest of the days sporadically throughout the year to take the occasional 3-day weekend (or 4-day weekend if there's a holiday I can squeeze it around).

 

[gooseman]

Has this not been covered many times before?

what are "personal holidays"? Sounds as if you've started your very own religion?



Anyway, I have 21 days off a year, obviously that does not include national holidays etc.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

2 weeks for Christmas / New Years, 4 days for Thanksgiving, 1 week for Spring Break, plus I earn 8 hours of sick and 8 hours of vacation every month. Plus I have 100 hours of FLSA overtime on standby if I need more time off (and they'll actually let me take it).

 

[IronWing]

I don't get any. I try to not piss off the mods.

 

[lokiju]

Two weeks and two personal days.

I also get two weeks of sick time.

So I guess that could be considered 4 weeks and two days.

Also, we close down on the Friday before Christmas and don't reopen until today Jan. 2nd.

We just combined our vacation + sick time into one big block. I get 5 weeks + 6 or so paid holidays. Next year I get another week (my 10th year anniversary here).
