How much vacation time do you have stored up at work?
- Thread starter PersonAndStuff
- Start date
200 hours? 300 hours? That must be nice. I'll get my full 80 hours next year and that's my cap for another 5 years.
A lot. I know you shouldn't do it but I'm considering cashing in some of my leave. I'll still have enough to get the holidays I want and I'll soon have long service leave.
Thinking I might splurge out and get a new monitor and PC.

Over 140hrs personal leave and about 73.3hrs of sick leave.
I always use my sick leave first. Since personal leave i get an extra 17.5% extra in pay. Would only use it for holidays.

It sounds like most of you have very generous employers, which is awesome.
The last job I had was considered "generous" in my area and I accrued 2.7 hours of sick time every two weeks. Not even a day a month. My wife's was even lower, at 1.8 hours per pay period. My last job wasn't even entry level, I was a supervisor for my company. So glad I'm out of there and looking for other work right now.

My record was 25 hours in my old job, easily build up.there i had 30 plus 1 holiday.
Oh yeah i had 30 or so sick days on avarage.
Now its around -/+1 to 2 hours and 29 plus 1 day off. I work more hours that's why its tougher to build up any plus. However, when I switch jobs again I want to work less hours again. Free time is more important to me.

Ill only get that much time off once I'm dead. What the actual fuck.
58 vacation hours, plus around 9 of "person holiday". I get 80 and 24 a year respectively. I haven't been earning them particularly long.
So far I've only used like, 2.5 vacation hours. You can only use up to your average weekly hours worked (and time actually worked that week counts), and for the first half of my employment I was working significantly less, so I only average at just shy of 35 hours right now.
I have 63 sick hours though, and those will never get used. I've called out once since I started accruing them, and usually only call out once a year. I have no idea how much I earn.

I had like 220 but I'll have burnt it all from Jan-Apr.
(and we had a four week closure in Dec... tho I worked a bunch of that launching DLC)

I'm forced to use it all by the end of every year, I get four weeks per year, and it's towards the end of March, so... I guess I have about one week stored up right now.
Around 40 days right now. After I finish a project I usually take 2 months off. Half carried over from last year.
I'm a supervisor in the vfx industry, I don't get overtime pay and any weekends are toil. I get 20 days a year by default as well.

They moved all salaried employees to an unlimited PTO thing. So we can take as much as we want as long as we aren't "impacting business."
50 days currently but next month I get my yearly 25 days. I just dont really have the time to actually use it. Were a small company
Carried over more than a week from last year that I've been burning here & there and still haven't touched the 6 weeks + 2 floating holidays for this year.
I like to have a ton of time banked for the Fall months and Christmas, but there are a couple of trips I want to take before that.

It was difficult to take leave in one of my old roles, and the leave just kept piled up.
I've never been a huge leave taker though. I never get sick so I've never taken a sick day at school or work - ever. I've also never skipped class.
I don't get to store vacation time, since you lose it at the end of the year if you don't use it. Yearly I get:
50 days vacation time.
7 days holiday time.
I'm also sitting at <200 hours sick time, which does carry over yearly. So I could be out sick for over a month if I wanted to. *cough*

I had 24 days saved from last year (I live in Sweden and work as a government official so I have 31 days/year vacation), so I have 55 days of vacation this year. So around 440 hours. I doubt I'll use them all up this year, but will most likely save 20 or so days for next year.
Ew. I'm also a teacher but I do get personal days that roll over onto the next year if we don't use them, maybe about 6 a year, in addition to some sick days. Obviously not that much because of summer, spring, and winter breaks.
I had 35 days stored up recently. I'm only employed for 3 more month so now I need to get rid of all those days. Took 3 weeks off now. I'm still working though #PhDlife
300 Hrs right now. Max I'm allowed to have is 320 and I earn 9.25 hrs per pay period. So right now I'm taking a minimum of 2 days of PTO a month to avoid hitting my max. I just recently got promoted and things have been a little too crazy for me to take off any more than two days a month, but in May, I plan on taking like 4-5 days off. Hopefully that will reduce your my balance a bit.
We have a use it or lose it policy now, but at least the vacation time isn't prorated, so I have 4 weeks as of today. I also get 5 sick days and 11 holidays.
Back before I started at my company, they had a vacation bank. We had one engineer who took no vacation for over 20 years, and when he retired they had to cash out the bank to the tune of well over 1 year of salary. Note that a lot of that was banked at a much lower salary than he had at the time, so he did pretty well. Personally, I'd rather have the time off.

Not a thing for me as a professor on a nine-month contract in a salaried position. We're just expected to not miss classes or meetings and otherwise just expected to be productive in our research and administrative work. No need to take time off and don't have to notify anyone unless canceling class or missing required meetings.
