Holiday Time Off

[Stainless]

I'm taking 12/21-1/5, 16 days off. Only using 5 vacation days and 1 sick day. Almost as good as Congress. :D
Who else is taking off?

I make my own schedule so will see how I feel about working a full week this week. :)

[thatguy]

I'll be out of State working probably right up to New Years.

Took a lot of time at home the last 6 months, so it's time to make the doughnuts!

I need a restraint device to avoid all the food that will be delivered to the office this week. :(

Funny you mention it, I'm thinking about it. See what gets posted up here for NYE. :)

I had to burn down my vacation days starting a few months ago so that I didnt loose any at the end of year roll over...

Since starting on my current project a few years ago, this customer pretty much shuts down from a project perspective from TGD through NYD so I typically dont take any vacation days...

I just take a few days here and there depending on IF my family wants to go and do something on a week day... I'm rolling over just UNDER 30 days (my roll over limit) of PTO...

We can only carry 20 days max, used to be 40, apparently it shows as liability on balance sheet for company since there are a lot of employees.

Had to change the policy at the office due to employees not logging vacation and the liability amount on the BS.
Now those employees in states without vacation carry over laws have to use it or loss it. Only 5 states allow for carry over and it is up to 150% of total.

We had employees with up to 1000 hours of vacation and I had to do the work to prove employees were not logging vacation. Found many indicators saying employees were out of office and not logging vacation, and decided to change the policy and not go after those that cheated the system.

Where I work directors and higher don't earn PTO (unlimited, but most average 3 to 4 weeks out of office) and staff get 3 or 4 weeks based on level (not including the 2 weeks sick time).

Christmas to New Years for us. Most vendors are closed anyway. All the sand cars that need to be done by Christmas will be done and nobody needs their boat that week. We will be in glamis relaxing.

We went to 21/28 days PTO which included vacation and sick leave with a 50% carry-over max per year.

I actually never felt like I really got a vacation no matter what as I was always looking at my Blackberry or computer, not to mention at least one call a day which was always "Critical".......in reality I never logged PTO cuz I never really got a day off, at least according to our own internal definition of PTO :grumble


Good news....................these days EVERY day is PTO :D

[Wendi]

We will be in Parker 12/28 - 1/4.

This will be me next week. I'll have the week off but will always be checking email. Hopefully we get some docs signed this week for the customers buying year end equipment so I'll be just emailing instead of going places.

Down side of self employment and being a one man show. Every day I stay home shuts the whole operation down, but the bills don't stop. Tue/Wed maybe Thurs Christmas week. Wednesday only New Years week. Since 2007 vacation's have been very sparse, mostly try to make some long weekends during the summer.
