Number of Vacation Days
If you don't mind sharing - How many vacation days do you get and how long have you worked for the company?
Thanks

Re: Number of Vacation Days
In my company you start with 2 weeks (that you accrue, so you don't have them all on day 1, they build over time)
After 4 years you increase to 3 weeks
After 10 years you increase to 4 weeks

Re: Number of Vacation Days
I get a lot of time off:
25 vacation days (5 weeks) 5 personal days 6 sick days
total 36 days
I've been with this firm for 8 years but with my boss for 25 years. He left and started his own firm with some different people, and I negotiated this time off in order to make the move with him.

Re: Number of Vacation Days
At six months from being hired we get five days. At one year we get another five days, so ten vacation days total in the first year. Then, we also get four personal days and five sick days. The second year of employment it jumps to four weeks of vacation days for the year, six personal, and six sick. And then it stays that way until like the five or ten year anniversary and then it changes again, I forget exactly.
I know that if we don't use the time, at a certain point, we lose it. But I forget exactly when that is. I always use my time so it's not usually an issue for me.

Re: Number of Vacation Days
20 personal days a year to do with as I please.
Sick, vacation. Whatever.
This is what you get on day 1. I have no idea if this ever gets increased.
You can carry over 40 days a year I think.
And we get one day off for our birthday during our birthday month.

Number of Vacation Days
20 days of personal time off. So that's everything. The company also just gave us 3 wellness days per year.
I have been there for 5 years. We get another 5 days at 10 years. We never lose days. We accrue them and stop accruing at 300 hrs. I have never had that many hrs in my bank.

Number of Vacation Days
I get a crazy amount of time off. I've been here for 1 year - 21 vacation days plus additional days for working election day and Veterans Day and probably a few others in there too, that I can't recall. Plus 21 sick days per year. When I started and they told me the amount of time off, I was soooo happy!

Re: Number of Vacation Days
20 years, maxed out at : 20 vacation days 6 occasional days 2 personal days
I honestly think those of us who have stuck it out for so long with rhis company should be rewarded with an additional week. Turnover is {ahem} quite high with new hires.

Re: Number of Vacation Days
6 weeks. It doesn't go up or down. Everyone gets 6 weeks.
I started in April 2015, but my contract is only for 2 years. After that if I don't get a contract, then nothing because it will be freelance. I lose them if I don't use them and we don't get paid if we don't take them.
They don't have sick days here. I have a "relaxed" schedule 4 months out of the year (I work in education).
I'm also not in the US . But this is the first time I've had paid vacation time in over 10 years.

Re: Number of Vacation Days
I just started with this company 6 months ago but I have been doing my role for the past 8 years.
I have 5 weeks vacation 3 personal days 5 sick days
After 5 years I will get another 2 weeks of vacation time and three more sick days. The personal days remain the same.
This excludes Martin Luther King, Presidents Day. We traded Columbus Day off to have off the day after Thanksgiving.

Re: Number of Vacation Days
We start with 2 weeks vacation and can accrue 1.5 days every month. After 5 years, you can accrue 2 days every month.
So I've been there for 7 years:
Vacation: 2 weeks, plus accrual of up to 24 more days for the year - so approximately 7 weeks.
5 personal days 10 sick days 12 holidays
I also get comp and flex time so if I work over 40 hours I can bank time and use that for time off.
I work for a nonprofit, so we get paid crap, but we get lots of time off

Number of Vacation Days
I get 20 days that includes everything except bereavement, jury duty, military leave (if applicable)
I've been here a little over a year. I believe it increases after you hit your 5th year. Also have the opportunity to "buy" up to an additional week when open enrollment hits.

15 vacation days, 10 sick days. I've been there 9 years.
Here you start with 10 vacation, then after 5 years it increases to 15 days and then maxes out at 20 after 10 years. Sick days remain at 10 and carry over year to year .

We have 10 vac, 2 personal until you are here 5 years. Then you get 15 vac, 3 personal.
But that's the cap. No more than 15 vac ever. They really should do another week after 10 years.
Sick is 6 per year.
I'm here 14 years.
