Does that mean no days the first year? That doesn't sound normal to me. We start at 15 days, but don't get separate sick days.

5 days is normal? i got 15 days of vacation and 12 holidays (6 scheduled - 6 floating) - wife got 12 days of vacation and i forget the # of holidays but it's something like 8-10

when i looked around at jobs it seemed that 10 days was more standard

we start at 9 days including sick. 3 days for sick, 5 for vacation and a floating holiday of your choice. you accrue vaca time for every hour you work.

here, you dont get paid time off until your 90 days are up (unless its a paid holiday). then after that 90 days you have accrued time off.

I started right after graduation and got 64 hours (8 days) and I'll get 80 hrs for next year. We also get more time based on the number of years we are with the company.

Plus all the major holidays.

So do most companies let you decide your floating holidays or do they decide?

I work for a construction company, and the schedule is fairly shitty.

no vacation for the first year, although there are 6 paid holidays.

after one year, you get 40 hours, after 2 years 80, and after 3 years, 120 hours, where you max out.

They are cool however about unpaid sick days, no real limit to those as long as you don't abuse the privilege

It really depends...I got 5 vacation days and 5 sick days the first year, and the 2nd year, I got 10 vacation days and 5 sick days.

My wife started out with 18 days of sick/vacation time at her job, and now I think she's up to like 23 or something crazy like that.

My company...let me rephrase that...Our CFO who is completely Jewish about letting us have holidays decides when we use floating holidays.

I suspect we'll get out of here early around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years because he has yet to use the 3 or 4 extra floating holiday hours we have left. He also made some people angry by not giving the company some holidays this year they had off in previous years.

I work for a construction company also.

2 weeks Vacation
5 Personal/Sick Days
Also get 2 vacation days added to my 2 weeks for every month i am out of town working

I rarely use my personal/sick days. It is kinda understood that when your assigned to a project and miss a work day that it makes itself up with the extra hours we usually put in.

17 PTO Days and basically an endless amount can roll over...

8 Paid Holidays.

My husband works at a bank though and he gets like 25 PTO days (and he doesn't have to count sick time/less than 4 hours as PTO time) and then he gets like 12 holidays. Ridiculous! haha

It doesn't really matter how much it rolls over, I have 160 hrs and that's our max allowed. I've had that for like 4 months now. I guess I could take December off


Besides, what am I gonna do when I'm off....hang out with my wife and son? Fuck that, I'd rather work.

5 days / year is shitty, depending on what other holidays you get off


i started off at 10/year and 4 hrs of sick leave are earned every 4 weeks, you can accumulate up to 30 days' worth

after 5 years i'd get 15 days/year and so on i think (10 yrs, 20 days)
