How many weeks of vacation do you receive a year?
- Thread starter ry-dog
- Start date
Is that 5 days a week for 20 years? Because that sounds absolutely awful.
30 days (PTO, so that's sick time and vacation time). Some of those days are regular holidays like Christmas, etc., so it's more like maybe 25 days that I actually get to choose for myself.
I'm pretty happy with that; I know that the majority of people here in the USA don't get that much, and it sucks. I was there in my youth...worked a bunch of shitty retail jobs that didn't give me a single day. "You're sick? Too fucking bad; your ass better be here," is the common attitude of retail employers here.

I get no days of vacation. I fractured my ankle severely and missed a grand total of three days. After that I worked 81 hours a week consistently causing my injury to take 13 weeks to heal enough to not feel pain. This is the America I was promised growing up. *sighs*
My new job that I just started gives me 25 days paid holidays, and I then get an extra day for each year that I am at the company. I also get public holidays off too.
Sick days don't count towards my holiday entitlement, which I think is a common thing here in the UK.

I'm in Canada with 4 weeks vacation, 4 floater days (basically vacation but doesn't carry forward) plus public holidays and whatever sick days needed

I've been at my job for about 11 years so I get 24 days of pool time (paid time off) per year. This includes sick days and vacation days but not including holidays when business is closed. I can also carry over 5 unused days into the next year.
I learned Thursday that I was bumped up to 27 days a year, all can be carried over annually. I may finally take my long dreamed Japan trip this year. I still have 21 days on the books to take and work finally seems to be winding down for the first quarter 2019.
We start with 3 weeks (15 days), and get 5 once we pass the CPA exam.
I didn't realize until this month that our days don't roll over, though, so I started the month with 12 days to burn through. Haven't worked much this month. Hell, I've got Monday and Tuesday off lmao

My company just released a new policy for 2019 giving every employee unlimited PTO days and 160 hours of wellness days. We used to have 180 hours of PTO only.
This year the company is telling employees to take as much vacation and time off as they need, as long as the employee is getting their work done and goals are accomplished. It is up to the manager to approve the vacation time and they are not to look at previous days asked off but how the time off will affect the work load of the team. The wellness hours are mine to take to re-energize, take my kids to doctors appointments, death in the family, etc.

12 regular paid days, then 1 "wish" day which is a day off paid but used to volunteer at a charity and then 1 day "floating" which means it isn't given as a regular day but rather built up by hours each month
That doesn't include holidays or early leave days. And is for being at the job between 0 - 3 years. When you get to 4 years they add like a week then 8 years two weeks or something like that.

US here. 24 days + all banking holidays.
I voluntarily used all of it this year. I made the "mistake" of saying, "If the company will give me PTO, I'm gonna use it" during a recent team meeting, which was met with reactions that made me seem like I was from another planet. PTO/workplace culture in the US is so fucked.

Canada, in the games industry
15 days + all major holidays.
I also get 5 sick days... If I need to use more sick time it's unpaid or I can use vacation.

10 days plus 5 paid sick days, and you can carry up to 5 unused days to the next year. Also all major holidays and our company shuts down for a week and a half for Christmas and New Years.
Zero.
I haven't gone on vacation since I was 12 (17 years ago). I am 29.
Actually, I went to Cuba for a week five years ago and got fired when I got back.
I work a dead end min wage job so death will be my perm vacation.

America, I get 3 weeks a year and I buy 2 weeks a year that are deducted from each paycheck. Technically I make 25 paychecks a year instead of 26.
I take a 4 week sabbatical each year, and then 1 week off somewhere.

Just got a new job in America. Three weeks of vacation + "unlimited" sick time + the usual holidays. Not bad.
Seriously, I get 5 days (but I work a Panama schedule so taking 2 or 3 days off can get me 7 days off in a row).
This is my schedule (except I work only nights):
Full time work almost all the way through excepting 2008 when layoffs happened.
I get, as of right now:
- 3 weeks of PTO
- 1 week of sick time
- 2 floating holidays which means just another 2 days of PTO

I'm self employed so none. I either have to take the hit financially or work a few weekends leading up to holidays.
