re: Your company's policy on vacation, PTO, sick leave, bereavement and holiday time?

I am 10 years in and get 23 pto days for vacation and if we are sick we have kind of unlimited sick days. For instance I was out 3 weeks with shingles and 2 weeks last week and still have my 23 days pto.

But if I don't use it I lose it.

Unlimited errthang but nobody takes advantage of it. I average 15-20 non-holidays off per year and regularly leave at 2-3 to get in a few pitches after work. I wouldn't work somewhere that didn't have a similar PTO policy, flexible hours, remote work options, open floor plan, and beer and ping pong in office

I'm all about a mental health day. Most of us have been there before, and you aren't getting much accomplished when you're not in a good spot mentally

Personally I think it should be a month off standard PTO per year, use it for what you will.

You're out, away from the office. I couldn't care less why. Just my 0.02.

I just started a new job and I get 10 vacation days and 2 personal days. However, I don't get those days until I've worked here a full year. I also get 10 sick days and the same one year rule applies, but I'm pretty sure if I get the flu and I'm puking my guts out, they'll give me the day off. My boss is pretty understanding though. He knows I'm getting married next April, and he told me I could take some days off for the wedding and/or honeymoon.

Use it or lose it
Broken up into vacation time and sick time

The problem with Madalyn is that once her lazy butt gets used to having an extra few days off each year, she will need more "time off" to get more rest.

She is almost certainly a terrible coworker and not interested in doing her best to serve and help others.

Me first Madalyn.

You just do you.

It works out best every time.

Sarcasm on [off]

Teacher in a state that is not right to work..We get 15 sick days a year to use how we like. Any days not used carry over. I have around 130 days available (15 years) I rarely get sick so most days that I use one is for taking my kids to the doctor or golfing in May.
We are also given 3 personal days that I use every year for a December golf trip to Florida. If you don't use your personal days you lose them but you also get paid for them at the end of the year.
7 hours a day, 182 work days a year and we still have teachers in my building that bitch about their jobs! Unreal

At my company you accrue PTO hours every pay period and the amount is dependent on how long you have been with the company. We also have mandatory holidays which fall in line with the same ones that Federal employees receive and receive 6 floating holidays to use as we wish that are use it or lose it.

I am deployed in Afghanistan and work 10 hour days 7 days a week so in lieu of holidays and floating holidays I receive extra PTO accrual every pay period. Right now I am earning almost 10 hours of leave every 2 weeks and when I go home on R&R (2 weeks) I usually don't even have to use any of my PTO by scheduling my dates for departure and arrival from Afghanistan for the middle of the pay period.

I am sitting on a bank of 380 PTO hours right now and it is just going to continue to grow. By the time I am done in Afghanistan I will be able to take off between 3 and 4 months paid.

Per year
20 paid vacation accrued to 50
12 sick days accrued unlimited
20 paid holidays (2 weeks at Christmas/New Years).

Accrued vacation and sick days are paid upon seperation from company.

If we have to work on a holiday, we get 2 for 1 flexdays that have to be used during the fiscal year.

I am salaried and have to work late and on weekends sometimes to get the job done, but if I leave early or get to work late for an appointment or kids (sick, program, sports game), it doesn't count against me as long as deadlines are met.
