Hellobee Boards

I accrue 1 2/3 day of vacation every month, 1 personal day each year, 1 1/4 sick days a month, 11 paid holidays and the office is closed between Christmas Day and New Year's Day. It works out to about 6+ weeks all together (in my first year of employment - rates will go up after 2 years!)

31 days because I've been at the company for 10+ years. In addition to that, we get 7 paid holidays.

I try to take all of my vacation days. I do work during some of them, but when I know I need a break, I very much focus on taking that break.

I get 3 weeks.

I usually continue to check email while on vacation.

128 hrs per year PTO (so 14-16 days depending on how you take it. We work 9 hr days M-R.) and every other Friday off.

ETA- I don't work on vacation.

I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week and get 6 vacation days a year, so i guess it works out to two weeks off.

I'm a teacher, so my vacations are when the kids are off. We do get up to three "personal days" a year (which do not roll over) and, I think, nine sick days (which do roll over).

My DH used to work for a very small company with no defined vacation policy. It did not work so well there, as the boss would often give three or four day weekends with little or no notice, and then feel like that was "time off", although there was no real opportunity to actually take a vacation with a half day's notice. Requests to take time off with advance notice were pretty much always granted, but not without some attitude. It wasn't totally healthy.

- 4 weeks annual leave (compulsory Christmas closure, I usually work from home doing mail pick up/accounts). Its paid, and we also get 17.5% leave loading.

-11 days sick leave. If you don't take it during the year it gets paid out end of year with annual leave.

-All public holidays (New Year, Australia Day, Labour Day, Easter Break, Anzac Day, Queens Bday, Melbourne Cup and Xmas Day/Boxing Day).

-Rostered Days Off (usually one per 4 weeks if you've worked 40 hour weeks) they almost always before or after a public holiday to make an extra long weekend.

We work for ourselves, so basically if we need emergency time off we take it... hubby has been running around like crazy for me shuttling DD back and forth to grannies as I've been ill, and also leaves for a few hours if I need to go to the doctor.

I get 11 vacation days and 5 sick days, but when I hit three years in October I'll get another week's vacation.
I definitely don't work on vacation days.

I'm a teacher so I just work the school year, plus I have 4 "personal days" and 6 sick days per year.

DH gets 4 weeks vacation, plus the 9 NYSE days off, plus unlimited sick days but he tends to wfh when sick.

3 weeks. No work! One week of time away from work for a paid conference of my choice.

3 weeks... not enough time according to me. Burnout is pretty real in my field.
My DH also gets 3 weeks but the culture is not to actually take it. So he normally takes one real week of vacation and then a few long weekends

We both check email during vacation

We get 10 company holidays and I get 20 flex days (combo of sick + vacation). We're allowed to roll over 5 days per year and sometimes we get a few extra days for the next year as a bonus. I check emails while I'm off but don't usually do work.

DH has a super flexible job with no fixed number of days off which seems amazing but he actually takes far less time off that I do.

I have 25 PTO days/year, it'll bump up to 30 next year.

We also get about 22 paid holiday days off each year as well.

23 days + all bank holidays + unlimited sick hours (40 of which are protected by the state).

I also get 3 personal days and 1 extra vacation day this year because it's a milestone year, so this year I get 27 days off + holidays + unlimited sick hours.

@mrbee: I'm a teacher, so I have the summer... but I'm usually working during the summer.
DH gets 8 weeks a year. He hasn't been able to use any yet, as he just changed careers in the same field. But, he will once we're more established.

I freelance so I get 0. I have taken plenty of time off though over the last year. I only work part-time so I just finagle my schedule to make it work.

At my most recent salaried job, we had unlimited paid time off, but most people barely took any time at all. I only took one true vacation in my 1.5 years working there. I worked my butt off to get things set up so I could actually unplug during my vacation.

I work about 20 hours a week and get 7.5 days (60 hours) being 4 years in at work- not per year, it takes me about 14 months to get my time refilled. No sick days, it's just PTO for whatever I need to use it on.
