How many Vacation days do you have saved up?

[Bobby]

I had a teacher in High School who saved all his days and took his entire final year off. He sold sporting goods for a year while the school paid him, then retired.

He'd put in 26 years at a high risk school though, deserved it.

Charles Schwab gives you a month or maybe three months PAID sabbatical every 7 or 10 years. Thats sweet.

At the hospital I work at we get PTO time. We have to use this time for sick days, vacation, and times we get called off for low patient census.

Needless to say I never have much time saved up...

Most I've ever had was about two weeks, I then proceeded to take a week off for a trip to Myrtle Beach. Highlight of the trip was getting kicked out of the House of Blues before the band I wanted to see had even taken the stage.

Good times!

Probably a good thing. Prevents burnout.

I get none. Nothing paid. I get paid for what I work, don't get paid for what I don't. But I'm a consultant and it goes with the territory.

I have 20 this year, but will be taking 3 of those days for the NCAA Tourney

Since I run my own business, I don't really even keep track of it... I usually take at least two weeks a year off, but even then I take my stuff with me and usually end up working at least some...

The first time I didn't work at least some on a vacation was last summer when we went up to Lake Nantahala... no cell phone service and dial-up internet... didn't do much working there.

Telecom used to be the best about this. Used to work with a guy here who came over from AT&T after 20 years. He had 7 months worth of accrued vacation that they eventually paid him back for instead of him taking a 7 month hiatus before he left.

They cap my hours at 185 or something like that.

I'm jealous. I think I have like 5 days saved up. I get 96 hours of PTO a year, but it doesn't roll over. I used most of my time last year for my honeymoon.

I feel for ya. PTO is the sux! I get the same thing.

I'm with the state...

Our excess vacation (anything over 100 hours I think) rolls over into sick time at the end of the year...

It's still paid time off though...

I think I am currently earning like 11 hours of Vacation per month and 8 hours sick... so that is 228 hours per year if I don't take any time off...

I'm not too sure about sick leave policy needing doctor's notes or anything for an extended leave, but I don't see how they can enforce that if you have a lot of vacation that rolls into sick each year...

64 days of leave...I never take leave so maybe now I will

[Kurb]

I have around 200 leave hours right now.
