started @ 3 weeks vacay, 5 “sick” days.  
i was told we do not have sick days, but if i am  
sick for more than 5 days they will question it.  
(i have seen people take 15 sick days w/o anything other than a warning)

all my time off can be call in sick, vacay etc…  
and I can take 4 hour inc.s

I get 80 hours sick and 80 hours vaca 2 personal days and one holiday  
I only work 35 hours weeks so it works out to 5 weeks a year

every 5 years it goes up 25%

everything can carry over …I can bank up to 240 hours in each area…  
after 70 hours sick I can cash it in for 1/2 of the hours straight cash or move them to vaca time

I have 15 days vacation and 5 sick. 5+ years gives you a extra week, only had 2 weeks vacation to begin with. Thats pretty average in the corporate work which when you think about it sucks.

4 weeks vaca  
12"sick" or personal days  
5 mental health days, from what i’m told this is for the day after you felt sorry for youself and drank too much.

Then again, I generally don’t take days off as i’m either in a store, on the phone with company issues or replying to emails. So when I say I want a vacation we usually don’t go by the policy issued.

12 “holidays” and 15 days of vacation. Sick days aren’t counted anymore. We can carry over up to half of the vacation we earned in a year if we don’t use it all.

20 days vacation, and then overhead where applicable.

Can accumulate up to 3 months I believe, but I usually use it all up. Ya need a vacation every once in a while

My old man has it pretty good. Instructor at a state college, earns vacation time based on time worked (example: works 30 days get 1.25 days vacation) Also gets 3 weeks off around Christmas plus half of may, all of june and july, and half of august off during the summer. In all I think he only works roughly 8 months a year based on the school schedule. Plus has pretty good benefits. He deserves it though, worked hard for 30 years as a frame/body guy. Now he teaches kids how to do it and enjoys going to work.

i get 3 weeks vacation, 6 personal days, and unlimited paid sick days. not too shabby.  
typically no carry over, except this year because they are changing the fiscal. so this year they gave us 9 addl. days.
