How many paid "vacation days" do you get in a year?

[DVad3r]

I think everyone should at least have 1 month off per year minimum, along with at least 10 sick days per year paid. And of course all the regular holiday's off like New Years, X-mas, etc.

 

[2Dead]

20 vacation, 3 optional, 9 market holidays, and 6 sick days.

 

[Kev]

WTF what job do you have?

not too quick there are ya

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Regular Holidays (8 of them?)
+ 20 vacation
+ 4.5 personal
+ 22 sick

 

[Gooberlx2]

Actual vacation or just paid days? Thread and poll titles differ.

I currently get (based on accruals):
10 vacation (accrue to 30 days)
13 sick (accrue to 135 days...no short term disability offered, so this is their excuse)
10 holiday

= 33 paid days

 

[Fritzo]

I get 21 days. Paid holidays are taken from that though, so woot for years with all the holidays on weekends

 

[JS80]

25 PTO. I have 247 hrs accrued so far.

 

[Ns1]

15 vacation
3 floating holiday
10 sick

 

[Gunslinger08]

15 vacation
5 sick
8 holidays

 

[thegimp03]

12 pto days (which increases up to 25 the longer you stay with the company) + 13 sick days

 

[thraashman]

Wow ... I feel screwed over in comparison to some of you.
I get 15 pto.
0 additional sick days
7 paid holidays
1 floating holiday

In addition I usually have to work the weekend after xmas if xmas falls close to a weekend. This past year I worked 7am-3 pm on that Saturday and 7am-6pm on Sunday. They said they'd give us comp days, but they said that the previous year too when we worked the weekend and never gave us them. Also none of my vacation rolls over and I lost 1 vacation day from last year.

 

[shiner]

as of this year....36

Well this is a touchy subject for me. If you go by what the company HR policy says, starting this year, my 10 year anniversary with the company, I should have 32 days off broken down like this: 6 Official company holidays, 6 "personal choice" days, 20 vacation days. Now if you are working by the assumption that the standard work day is 8 hours that's 256 hours. Now. . .we have this stupid thing called a "utilization target" which is defined as the percentage of the total number of available business hours per year that you must bill. The total number of business hours available per year where I work is considered to be 2080 which is arrived at by assuming 8 hours per day times 5 days per week times 52 weeks in the year. Note that this number does not account for any time off at all. It assumes that every business day (which means M-F) of the year is a working day. My utilization target number is 95%. So, 95% of 2080 is 1976 hours. However, as you can plainly see with a little bit of elementary school math, the difference between 2080 and 1976 is only 104 (or 13 8-hour days). . .but I'm supposed to have 256 hours (or 32 8-hour days) of paid time off?? How the fuck does that work? This means that 19 of my so-called vacation days are nullified by my 95% of 2080 hours utilization target.

As for paid days off, well, it's hard to say...

I get a guaranteed 20 annual, plus any holiday.

In 2009 I probably had close to 50 days off, plus weekends. Unlimited sick days (within reason).

 

[Svnla]

All of the companies that I worked or work at, the standard is 4 weeks per year if you work there from 0-5 years and more if you stay longer.

 

[highland145]

ZERO. Fn a-hole I work for sucks.

Oh, wait. Self employed. Still zero.

 

[Chaotic42]

5 Sick Days
4 Floating Holidays
4 Standard Holidays (Christmas, etc)
15 Vacation Days

I think. I'm not really sure. All I know is that I never have any time off. lol

 

[aircooled]

5 weeks vacation
2 Floaters
10 Personal/sick days
Standard Holidays. can't remember how many.

 

[Jadow]

27 days not counting company holidays (even got presidents day and MLK as company holidays)

 

[HardcoreRobot]

30 days + all US federal

 

[iCyborg]

20 days vacation,
2 floating holidays,
I think 1 sick day/month, but I'm averaging less than 1/year.
This doesn't include statutory holidays (some 10-11 days)

 

[sjwaste]

4 weeks vacation + 2 weeks of sick per year. I do love the Federal Govt. 30 days total, although I try not to use sick time at all since I get 20 days of vacation plus whatever comp time I accrue for working a little bit extra.

 

[FoBoT]

i don't know, i voted 15-20

 

[melchoir]

12 vacation, 16 sick, 15 holidays.
If you use under 40hrs of sick per year, whatever of that 40 is left gets converted to vacation time.

Vacation and sick accrue, no annual reset.

 

[ZetaEpyon]

For this year, 20 vacation, 7 company holidays, 3 holidays to use at my discretion, and sick time is essentially "free" within reason.
