For all the people w/ real jobs…

1. How many vacation/sick/personal days do you get a year?

10 vacation days per year. (this jumps to 15 in another 2 years or so)  
5 Personal days (these can **not** be used in half day increments, unlike the others)  
5 Sick days

Total: 20 days or four weeks.

(however, i can pretty much use them all interchangeably, i would say that with the exception of my trip to California in January, 90% of my vacation days were “call-in”)

1. How much are you carrying over?

I have 3.5 vacation days left, one sick day. I have to use the sick day, but i can carry the vacation time?

1. 15 vacation days, 5 sick days = 4 weeks a year, but they can be used all as vacation or vice versa.

2. we have a “use it or lose it policy” - sooo I’m taking 4 weeks a year. holla

15 holidays

Currently I get 1.66 vacation days and 1.66 sick days per month. In addition to holidays, etc.

So every year = 20 vacation days + 20 sick says  
Next year it bumps up to 21

In March that bumps up to 1.75 per month

Mine never expire, but I have been burning through vacation days like crazy. I have 10 vacation days left, but will be using a lot when UB is closed for the holidays. I have 41+ sick days in my bank that never expire. 🙂

4.6 hours of PTO (paid-time off) time for every 80 hours worked.

I currently have over 100 hours of PTO that I need to chew off before I leave in August. They roll-over year to year.

I don’t use much time as my pay is performance bonus orientated with a pathetic hourly rate. Time = money.

I have 80 hours vaca, 80 hours sick, and vaca left I get paid for, any sick time left I lose.

Needless to say I have about 40 hours vaca and 8 hours sick time left this year, and plan on calling in sick on the 31st.

Right now I get 3.5 weeks of vacation/sick time.

At the end of next year I will be bumped up to about 4.5 weeks.

I can’t carry over vaction time unfortunately so I burned a day this week and then I am taking 4 off next week.

Likewise.

BUT I have to use the “vacation” only during assigned periods, and can’t just say “I’m leaving for this week, and will be back on X day”.
