1. 15; I'm lucky

My company is nice and gives 15, starting. 'Course if we lived in Europe, we'd have 30... so it's all about perspective, I guess....

[texas1928]

4. 30 days of vacation and 6 days of personal time.

WOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!

[LynzM]

8. Holy crap!

Who do you work for? (Or you mean in Europe... :) )

[texas1928]

25. I work for a company here in America.

and I get 30 days of vacation and 6 personal days.

[billyskank]

10. What's "personal time"?

[RebelOne]

18. It's time you can take if you don't want to use vacation time.

[texas1928]

26. Sick Time.

But we call it personal time.

[Texasgal]

2. Not enough....

*sigh*


About 10 days a year. :(

[Heidi]

3. As a many as I give myself.

In this country, it's about a month per year.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

5. Only 10, which is WAY too few.

Hell, most of those are toast just needing a day off here or there to get things done. I can't remember the last time I took a full week off. :-(

[johnnie]

6. 16 now plus 5 personal

They give you one day per year after 10 years. I have 11 years so I have my three weeks plus my extra day. 21 paid in all.

[billyskank]

7. Twenty-two plus eight public holidays

I'll get 23 the year after next, 24 the year after that, then 25, 26, to a maximum of 27. If I stay there that long. (I've been made redundant from three jobs so far. And I'm only 29). :)

[redqueen]

9. 10

Not sure when I start to get more... hopefully at 5 years (in 7 months).

[prolesunited]

11. None

I'm only working P-T (32 hours) right now after getting downsized in April, but they did let me have a month off for surgery and another week off for a honeymoon next month -- all unpaid, but at least I still have a job.

In my FT job, I had 30 days vacation and 10 sick days in addition to holidays. Those were the days. Doubt I'll see that again.

[BigMcLargehuge]

12. 15 now, plus 5 holidays

but it's after 6 years at the company. Prior to this I had 5 paid and five holidays

[WeRQ4U]

13. 1 day per month worked of both vacation and sick leave.

I also get comp time for days or hours worked when I didn't have to.

[trackfan]

14. I earn .833 per month

[progmom]

15. 20 vacation, 9 personal

[VelmaD]

16. I earn 10 hours of annual leave per month...

so that's 15 days of leave plus about 9 or 10 state/federal holidays.

Now, ask me how much of that annual I actually use. *sigh*

[RebelOne]

17. Three weeks, 3 personal days and 10 sick days.

Next years, I will be receiving 4 weeks vacation.

[Saphire]

19. 5 vacation an 5 sick time

[HEyHEY]

20. 19

[AngryAmish]

21. none

self-employed

[tonkatoy57]

22. Used to get 5 whole days.

Now it's up in the air. My boss just sold the company and our new policy says that "in order to maintain a proper work to life balance vacation time will be awarded at the discretion of management".

How's that for paternalistic, patronizing, bullshit?

Now we get to go to management so they can tell us we can't possibly have any time off because we're oh so busy. I can see so many problems with this policy; who brown noses the best gets the most vacation time being only one of them.

I can look out of my office window and see union guys who have gotten locked out and have now been replaced by permanent replacement workers and I think, jeez, you guys don't know how much I appreciate what you and the others before you did to help all workers, union and non union.

No, I fear, everyone is going to be in my boat soon.

[TX-RAT]

23. Mine was 15 when i retired, 6 paid holidays

Now i work twice as hard and receive none. If i didn't own my business now i'd quit. I'm the worse boss i ever had.

[Pacifist Patriot]

24. None. I'm a stay at home mom. Every day is a holiday.

Bah!

[meganmonkey]

27. 18 total for vacation and sick time, BUT

Literally the only holidays I get off are Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, and New Year's Day. If they happen to fall during the work week, I get paid for those. If they don't, well, no paid holidays that year! (except T'giving which is always a Thursday). If I take off work for days like Christmas Eve or 4th of July or the Fri after T'giving I have to use my vacation time.

So it isn't as much as it sounds.

[DrDan]

28. 5 weeks plus 6 personal choice "holidays"

[wildhorses]

29. I "earn" about a day every 2 weeks

I can either cash in for money or use as personal days..

[CatholicEdHead]

30. 10 per year

I have only been able to use 2 so far and I have saved 15 sick days. If it stays this busy I will not be able to take the rest. My last full week off was almost a year and a half ago. Taking 3-4 day weekends seems to be the best I can do.
