What's the average vacation time for an employee

I had 1 week vacation after a year, 2 weeks after 3 years, and 3 weeks after 5 years.

We were allowed to split it up but it didn't roll over to the next year. We had to use it.

Just and FYI, if you were working in the state of California at the time, state law requires that you be allowed to 1) carry it over 2) be paid for it or 3) use it all. If you didn't use it all and they didn't allow you to carry it over, then they have to pay you for it.

You guys have been spectacular. Thank you so much for your input - You've given me everything I need.

It's gonna be a "burying my head in my pillows and doing a lot of thinking" weekend.

I HATE weekends like this.

Either way, thanks, all - As always, much appreciated.

Don't bury your head and think too much!

If you want the employee(s) to be happy, see what works for them. Some live to work, others work to play.

Find out what they will accept, especially if you want to keep them.

BTW, ENJOY your weekend ... and that's an ORDER!

My opinion is that anybody that ask about it doesnt really want to work to bad If they bitch about 2 weeks then send em down the road!

Less than five years at the company? Two weeks, plus one week sick time?

It's been way too long since I've worked at a company that cared.

Anyone? An employee asking - I have NO idea what to tell him - Pretty sure it's 2 weeks vaca plus 1 week sick, then after five years it adds on?

Or I'm wrong.

HELP!

Depends on if you be workin' for the man - or something other than government . . .nes pas?

Agreed - But perhaps the employees weren't the ones asking. Just a thought.

Yup, CA law! It sucks for the non-CA offices within my company because they have to use it or lose it!

I rolled mine over this year and I have 26 days of vacation. Once again it doesn't look like I will use it all (my honey doesn't get as much vaca), but I try to use as much as possible for mental health.

I'm less than 5 years with my company. 3 weeks (120 hours) vacation/yr, 6 days sick/personal leave, 10 paid holidays (of which 4 are floaters). 120 + 48 + 80 = 31 days off/year.

Also, my company doesn't charge me for doctors appointments.... I wanna move to Europe though, they get wayyyy more time off!

I worked at Indiana University... we started with 6 weeks Paid Time Off (total of vacation + sick) then we had 11 days paid vacation on top of that. Once I was there for 5 years I got 8 weeks PTO.

Why did I leave there again?!

I'm self employed so I get vacation time whenever i want it. Last year I went to..to..to....
No, wait...that was six years ago. I didn't take vacation last year. Or the year before, come to think of it.
Oh, Hell. I can't remember when my last vacation was.
Being self employed really sucks balls sometimes.

I get 30 days a year and then no limit on sick time and i have 5 years with the same people.

I earn about 1 vacation day every 2 weeks and 1 extended illness day each month. Translates into 26 days of vacation/holiday/sick and 13 days that I can use if I stay home sick longer than 3 days. I was able to start using my PTO after 3 months on the job.


I think that 2 weeks is pretty piddly, particularly for folks who don't have their family living in the area.

That's about what I get too. Mine breaks down to 26 vacation days a year, 11-12 Federal holidays, and 13 sick leave days. My sick leave and annual can be taken in increments of 15 minutes, in case I leave early or arrive late for work. Sounds like I'd never have to work, but somehow I still do a lot.

[airtwardo 6]

If I knew then what I know NOW...

My wife 'works' about 12-14 days a month, gets 6 weeks paid vacation and 2 weeks paid sick leave a year...

When we met we were making the same $ but it was taking me 60-65 hrs a week and no where NEAR the benefits.

One of my best friends in college was in the flight program, his dad was #3 at United so he had a job pretty much lined up, his dad liked me a lot and made several 'offers' if I were to change majors...but NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I wanted to jump not FLY!

Depends on the industry - most companies do what they need to in order to be competitive.

In theory I get 14 days of paid vacation each year plus 5 floating holidays and the 10 fixed holidays.

There's a week of sick leave too.

In practice I've taken a couple long weekends plus the holidays over the last two years and will probably get paid up to the 168 hour cap when we have a liquidity event, go out of business, etc.

I last took real vacations week-long vacations in 2005.

I think you (as in y'all) will find that the US sucks the biggest donkey balls when it comes to paid vacation time in the First World.

In view of the fact that the US has long been the only First World country not to offer real national health care for ordinary non-elderly, non-impoverished slobs, do we detect a pattern here, class? I do.

What giggles me up is how many Americans who have never lived anywhere outside of the US
think that 2 weeks vacation is generous. It's (partly) the same reason why so many Americans don't realize how backward the US is for not having a universal national health service: they simply don't know any better because they've never experienced a true basis of comparison.
