Subject: RE: TAN #199: jobs R imporTANt, conTANkulations TANgemelons!Originally posted by NRG42I am one of those weird employees that never uses all of their vaction time. Every year I ask to be paid out and they say no. Doesn't hurt to ask. BUT I was also grandfathered in under a hearty policy from the company start-up. I have 6 weeks paid vacation and 40-hours a year that roll over. Its nice to have, but rarely use more than 3 or 4 weeks. Which I am guessing is the avgerage package? I started with 17 days, and up to 5 roll over. But I've only been here a year. Even if I don't take full on vacations, I take lots of Fridays or random mental health days off so I use up that vacation. It is considered in your compensation - USE IT! My boss has been here since Jesus was a boy and gets 6 weeks I think - and he takes a full week in the spring, a full week in the fall, an extra week around Christmas, and almost every single Friday in the summer. That's exactly how I would roll if I had 6 weeks! |
