OT-How much vacation time do you get
I feel like I am getting shafted on the vacation arrangements at work. I work about 6 weeks of overtime (but I am salaried) and I get 2 weeks of paid vacation a year. My boss takes about 6 weeks a year. I have 2.5 years experience in my field. Am I getting shafted?
I get 15 sick days that carry over every year, 2 personal days, 2.5 weeks of vacation in Dec-Jan, half a week for Thanksgiving, a week in April just for the heck of it, and then 3 months in the summer. All is paid vacation time. AHHHH the joy of being a teacher.
4 weeks vacation. No limit on sick days or personal days. Yay boutique consulting.
Average work week is 45 hours. However, I averaged 60 hours a week from January to end of April, culminating in two final weeks of 100 and 110 hours (only 168 hours in a week :( ) Thank god this wasn't during football season.
But, this year so far - 1 Week off in Jan, 2 weeks off last quarter (WOOOO company spring break!!!), 2 weeks off this quarter, 1 week off next quarter and a 1 week shutdown in December.
I quite like this recession to be honest :P
Oh, and 2 weeks off last month to have knee surgery (no limit on sick time etc).
I get the shaft too
Boss takes nearly 2 months off
And I get 10 days
If you keep this up
Quickly will you take the lead
Soon to have most points
I do freelance work, so, technically as much as I want.
I work about 210 days out of the year. I mean, I get off for President's Day. With that said...I get a teachers pay. Do you take the money or the time?
and that includes sick days, personal...
I'm a business consultant, which means that I often times have to work during vacation, sometimes can't take one, and rarely have to cancel for work. However, I usually get about 3-4 weeks per year. I love vacay.
I have 7 years with my company, get 23 days off a year.
First year, if you start before June 1, you get 3 personal days. After that you get 5 in your first year.
You get 10 days + 3 personal days for 2-5 years, and at 5 years you get upped to 4 weeks + 3 personal days.
But having a job at all is nothing to complain about right now, especially in Michigan..
Then I got laid off. After 4.5 months of unemployment, I just got a new job and I get 1 week plus all Jewish holidays, which is apparently quite a lot. I think it comes out to about 2 - 3 weeks.
OK - too many posts to read through, so if this is repetitive, my bad. (Tom, I’ll keep my eyes and ears open brother!)
For the first 5 years, you earn your stripes by diving into and working any project you can. That provides you with experience and more importantly street cred with the boss that you are a hard worker. From there, you parlay that into a polished resume where you can climb the ladder or if your company is large enough, move up within the ranks.
I started with 10 days of vacation and 3 days of sick time a year. I'm now at 25 days of personal time a year. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to use it (summer vacation and around the holidays to see family).
Point is work your ass off, soak up everything you can and the time off will take care of itself.
Every company I've worked at has started me with 2 weeks vacation and various sick time (3-5 days) and 10 paid holidays.
Most have graduated scales where time and service can dictate vacation time increases. The one I work for now is:
1-4 years : 2 weeks
5-9 years : 3 weeks
10-retirement: 4 weeks
It depends on the job too. I've known quite a few accountants and lawyers who started with 3 weeks vacation. Here in the world of IT, most start with 2.
