How many paid vacation days are you entitled to in 2010?
If I had 3 wishes... One of my wishes would be to make a select few of you Pirates Fans.
My answer:
Zero. One would have to have a job in order to get paid vacation days.

I have 365 vacation days lined up this year and all are unpaid.
My company has a stated policy of granting ten days when one hires on and then I believe grants another five days after three or four years of service. In practice, no one counts how much vacation anyone takes. I've been with the company almost six years and generally take somewhere between 15 and 20 days off per year and no one says anything about it. I therefore declare that I'm entitled to 15-20 paid days off again in 2010.

At minimum 18 days, not including all the comp time I accrued, which adds about another 11 days right now.

None, really. I get paid for my contributions to projects. I take time off pretty much when I need or want, provided that no projects are desperately behind. But I don't get paid to take vacation. In fact, they are generally more than a little expensive. I probably take about 40 days.
I get to go on lots of "vacations" for college golf. So far this year, Hawaii and Newport Beach ... not too shabby.

I am actually not sure. My work situation is weird. I'll have to talk with my boss about this

I get 4 weeks vacation and 4 personal days.
5 sick days as well.

10 vacation
8 sick days
12 holidays
23 vacation, 5 personal, 13 holidays, 13 sick. I also compress 10 days into 9 every 2 weeks so I have 26 additional days off over a 12-month period. It's a good gig....one that's up in 3 years.
Let the kids play.
15 vacation days
Not part of the question, but I also get 6 personal and 3 sick days. Which could be used for vacation.

I really don't know. I receive a stipend and it's not like they will reduce their payment if I take a couple weekends off during the year. But if I take advantage and miss too many weekends most likely I would just get fired. It's kind of a gray issue.

My company does it by the hour. I have 147 hours left. 40 hours can be carried over.
I wish my job allowed us to carry over time. It is a use it or lose it deal.
26 days of vacation
8 days when the office is closed
6 days of unpaid vacation (well, i'm paid for them, but then i have to buy the time back, which is what i opted for).
Technically 26 days of paid vacation.
My 09 days rolled over, I think I had 12. If I don't take any by the end of the year I'll have 27. Not including sick time.

I get 15 days off per year, and that doesn't differentiate between vacation and sick leave. But, given that I think I've taken one sick day in the last 20 years, it's pretty much all vacation time.

4 WEEKS.
Throw out the sats & suns and that would be 20 paid days.
Cappy does math. Hudathunkit?
In an addendum I'll say that for 20 years I never took a vacation. I just took the extra checks.

zero, because I am part time.

15 but they are accrued at the rate of 1.25 days per month so technically I can't take them until they have been earned. And sadly, most of mine end up being used for when my son is sick or I have to take off when he's off during the school year.

Got an extra week this year - woohoo - so,
20 days paid vacation

That's no longer an option in my company. It used to be nice to get paid out for excess vacation, but some corproate bigwig read a study that said the worker is more productive if he actually gets away from the job every once in a while, so my options are now to take the vacation time, or lose it. I like my employer, but not so much as to work for free.

i get 20 paid vacation days. plus holidays when we're closed.
of course, i use most of those days to freelance and make extra $$$$!
15. I never get to take them all and I don't get paid for not taking them, so it's kind of a big tease, but it's nice to know.
Did you want to know about other paid days off? I get five sick days, which I try not to use (not that I don't want to, I just don't want to be sick) and three personal days (I take Good Friday every year and usually miss the other two), as well as for the last several years, every Friday off between July 4 and Labor Day, which is the best!

I get 27 days this year but I bought 4 of them so I'm technically given 23.
That doesn't include holidays or about 7 sick days.
It's no longer an option for us either.
Which is why I now take vacations.

How about a fountain of "smart"?
How do you "buy" vacation days? Do you tell in advance you're not coming on whatever future day and just not get paid?
(Before my firm changed it's policy, there was a guy who had well over 4,000 hours in vacation time accrued (almost TWO YEARS). I was always after him to transfer it to me and I'd have fun for him!)
nope...basically, we do an online benefits selection in November for the following year. You pick your medical, dental, legal services, LTC, etc and during that you can choose to buy up to 5 vacation days or sell up to 5 vacation day. It's calculated back into your check every week if you sell and taken out every week if you buy days.

I get 22 days that I can't carry over and unlimited sick days. I've never called in sick more than 1-2 times per year and I would love it if they gave us six personal days in lieu of the unlimited sick time.

Me either - I think it's great...there's a girl here who really needs the money and sells 5 of her days and gives herself an extra week pay.
Everyone should really have such a flexible benefits package, I think, but I do worry about people who need the dough so bad that they wind up all work and no play.Me either - I think it's great...there's a girl here who really needs the money and sells 5 of her days and gives herself an extra week pay.
I have a day off today.

aww, i wish Margaret..I'm trying to keep the ones I have busy right now.Can I work with you, Jeanne?
I think that's why they only let you sell up to 5 and everyone has more than that - I think they start you at two weeks plus three personal days (plus sick and holidays).
Yeah, me too. It's pretty slow here as well.aww, i wish Margaret..I'm trying to keep the ones I have busy right now.
Can you hire me just to sit around and make you laugh?
sorry to hear that. some days are just painful here which is why I'm on here a lot.Yeah, me too. It's pretty slow here as well.
hmm, then what will I do with Mr Coffee?Can you hire me just to sit around and make you laugh?
28, but I carried 5 over from 2009 so I could take 33 this year if I wanted. Taken 1 so far.

Twenty-plus years in as a government employee - I get 12 holidays (13 in an election year), 12 sick days, 3 personal days per year and then earn 13.45 hours of vacation time a month. It all adds up, but I never have the time to take it all. I have so much on the books I could take off the rest of the year and not make a dent. And this doesn't count the comp time that I earn in lieu of paid overtime.

To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure. I also get it credited in hours rather than days, and as of 2/10 I had 104 hours of vacation time. If I'm figuring it correctly, I earn another 64 hours over the course of this year. That would give me a total of 21 days, though some of it's not available until the end of December.
That's not counting my 5 personal days, 3 days of holiday time I've built up, and at least one more "floating holiday." I can use all of that for vacation time, but they're not officially credited as vacation days.
Is that all clear?
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.- Barry Manilow
My wife gets something like 6 vacation weeks but she can't take them if she wants to keep her job. It's such a crock.
She has to maintain a certain utility level which is established by billlable hours that is charged to the customer of a project (and you're expected not to bill for overtime hours. Well, you can bill for some overtime but you're expected to both eat the overtime hours you work... and work the overtime hours). So, if you take 6 weeks vacation you can't bill hours. When you don't bill hours your utility level goes down. When you're utility level goes down, you're rating goes down. When you're rating goes down, you're unemployed. It's a great system - give employees vacation time they would be nuts to take.
Those who can — do. Those who can’t — criticize.
