I get 2 weeks (10 days), plus 2 floaters. So, 12 days total. As far as holidays, if I’m on the schedule, I’m working them, getting paid 2.5 my hourly rate (even though I’m salaried). If I’m not scheduled to work the holiday, I get paid anyways. But I’ll often swtich with people so I can work the holiday, for the pay. As far as sick days, we don’t have them, as far as a set amount goes. But, if we call in sick, we still get paid. We kind if just don’t make a habit of it. ---

Where I work we get PTO (paid time off), 10 sick days which is actually 20 because the union contract states that when you call in it counts for two days off. But when we call in it uses our PTO so that we still get paid. We also get 2 personal health days where we are paid if we take them. We accumulate 9 hours of PTO per pay period so its like a day off every two weeks. As far as vacation goes you tell them when you want to take one and PTO covers it. ---
