I get 2 weeks paid vacation, and one is the week of the 4th of July. The other I use at my discretion. Plus unlimited paid sick days, and all federal holidays. dagret on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1013218 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:01:44 +0000 dagret 1013218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i have 30 days annually to use at my discretion (thats sick pay, vacation, everything), an I can keep 5 of them to roll over to the next year. It's the maximum amount of vacation you can have in my company. Plus we have 10 or 11 paid holidays? the ones like Columbus Day, Presidents' Day... We can also volunteer on election day without using our time off.

But I have a minimum billable year so I generally end up taking about 3 weeks of vacation and sick time. fussygal on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1012950 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 10:49:43 +0000 fussygal 1012950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No set amount of days but we are told to take off whatever is reasonable during our non-busy times + federal holidays.

Both roll over up to a certain amount. I had to use everything I had saved for maternity leave, so now I only have 1 week of vacation and 1 week of sick time in the bank. We get all fed holidays and 7-10 days around Christmas/New Years. plantains on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1012763 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 09:49:20 +0000 plantains 1012763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get 30 days paid vacation, 6 months paid sick leave and 14 days public holidays. Maternity leave is 6 months, some full pay and some partial pay.

Work shuts down for 5-7 days over Christmas and NYE depending on how it falls so I get that too. I do events too so get time back for them and usually end up with another 2-3w on top of my base vacay. DH gets summers, school holidays (teacher). We've got it pretty good! anbanan15 on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1012714 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 09:36:05 +0000 anbanan15 1012714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get NO paid benefit time of any kind...all vacation, personal time and maternity leave is unpaid. DH is up to 3 weeks paid vacation, plus he bought in on 2 extra weeks, so this year he has 5 weeks paid. He also get a full paid week of paternity leave and can take up to 12 weeks total off (I can only take 6 weeks).

But I feel the same in that I kind of wish they'd cap it somewhere, since I don't want to be frowned on because what I think is appropriate is different from what they think is appropriate. I plan to take approximately 4-5 weeks/year. At my previous job I had 3 weeks (15 days) plus 3 floating holidays and 5 sick/personal days. So a total of 23 days/4.5 weeks vacation. Plus we had 10 paid holidays. pui on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1012695 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 09:31:41 +0000 pui 1012695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ None. We own our own company. Our employees get 2 weeks of paid vacation plus holidays, but one of those weeks is over Christmas/New Years (all the days inbetween that are not holidays). They also have the option to work overtime for more vacation days. We also let them take basically unlimited sick days (within reason).

Any vacation I take is paid. I can take whatever time off whenever time I want so long as there is time to do so. There's rarely time. :sad: prettylizy on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1012505 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 08:49:07 +0000 prettylizy 1012505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get 3 weeks vacation + 2 floater days and 2 personal days, all stat holidays and 40 sick days.

They say you should take time off as you need it and assuming your responsibilities are covered. It sounds really nice, but personally I would rather have a set number of days for multiple reasons. I have been at my current job for over a year, and I have taken one full week (5 days) vacation and a couple other days off. littlek on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1012350 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:59:39 +0000 littlek 1012350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @LindsayInNY: I'm sure I won't either. Public accounting is generous with saying you have lots of vacation days, TAKING them is a whole other story. kiddosc on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1012331 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:55:29 +0000 kiddosc 1012331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I accrue 9 hours of vacation time and 9 hours of sick time every month, and it all rolls over. Plus we have 12-14 holiday days a year (we get the week between Christmas and New Year's off, so it depends on when it falls in the week). DH gets 3 weeks vacation and 7 holidays I think. LindsayInNY on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get/page/2#post-1012324 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 07:50:50 +0000 LindsayInNY 1012324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 4 weeks vacation plus 10 or so holidays (not sure exact amount). Also sick but I never take it and it doesn't roll over. DH gets 4 weeks too, I believe, but has more holidays/personal/sick (not sure exact amount).

Holy cow! I'd never be able to use all that! Mrs D on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get#post-1012139 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 05:50:33 +0000 Mrs D 1012139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 3 week paid time off, plus 10 or 11 holidays and 3 "sick" days (or Dr Appt days). Luckily my boss doesn't track this too closely. We travel a decent amount so he gives us time off credits for our nights/weekends away from fam. DH is an attorney - so he doesn't get X number of days. He has a billable hours goal (maybe 1800 or 1900) and so long as he hits that he can be off as much as he wants.

DH gets 5 weeks I think? Plus local and religious holidays. Plus I think 2 weeks pat. leave if/when needed. lovehoneybee on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get#post-1011996 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:26:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 1011996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH gets 3 weeks, plus another 2 hrs for every 40 hrs he works (at I think that's the ratio). lamariniere on "how much paid vacation do you get?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-paid-vacation-do-you-get#post-1011979 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:07:38 +0000 lamariniere 1011979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ None, I'm a freelancer so I can take all the vacation I want, but it's unpaid.
