What do you mean "buy"Originally Posted by FBD
I have the option to buy up to 5 days of PTO, and that week of my pay gets taken out of each paycheck throughout the year. My time>work time. A lot of people use that for christmas money, sell the time back and then get their almost week of pay in a lump in november. But I use every last bit of it, fuck 'em!

Thats a cool option
yup, when I heard about it I was like whaaaa! fuggin sign me UP!
I have unlimited vacation time, but I usually only take 10-15 days a year, because
a. I'm self-employed, and
b. My boss is an asshole.

I get 10 days vacation and 3 personal.
Officially we don't. But being flat rate I could schedule days off and just show up off the clock and earn more hours.
I earn 16.76 hours for every month worked. So if I don't take any time off for a calendar year, I'm entitled to a little over 25 days per year.
the 16.67 hours figure is based on my time put in with the company, not based on my wage/position/bad attitude/whatever...
I miss the old days when they assigned a certain amount of days based on time put in - 5 days for 5 years, 10 days for 10 years etc.
We're 5 days after one year, 10 days after 2 years but I don't get 15 days until year 10.
yeah our old system was similar...I liked it because January 1 you were assigned X amount of days and knew exactly where you were throughout the year.
The real time accrual looks attractive but I don't care for it...
Real time accruals are completely ridiculous. I have never found a justification for a system that is obnoxious to manage and confuses the fuck out of the employees. If you want to back door the accounting by accruing in period one for use in period 2, I could care less, that's an accounting issue. The employee should know I have X amount starting on January 1 to use by December 31. Yes, I despise work anniversary based systems as well.
I spent 15 years in corporate HR and was assigned to a lot of different facilities. Every single time I found an accrual system, I eliminated it.
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
ya know what? fuck that, I'm taking next week off too. power supply for the board came in with a stamp of approval, I'm almost done with the patch panels. felt like I got up nice and early this morning, but then I saw the clock said 11:40. but I'm so far behind on sleep, I need this shit.
The place I worked in Vermont gave us 1 week after 1 year, 2 weeks after 3 years, then you had to wait until 10 years to get week 3, after 15 you got 4 weeks, after 20 years you got 5 weeks and that was the ceiling on vacation.We're 5 days after one year, 10 days after 2 years but I don't get 15 days until year 10.
The place I work now is a lot smaller, I get 2 weeks vacation time and 3 sick days, that's it.
Get 35 days a year and use every last one of them. Also have flexible hours so if I need a couple hours off one day just work an extra couple of hours at some point that month. Boss is more interested in the work being done by a given date than exactly how many hours it takes.
time off is so valuable to me...
but I got another 10 years there until I get that last week added. (and you know damn well I'll still be buying after that - HAH - like my work is going to exist in 10 years, or whenever the drain plug gets pulled on the market, that 200 year company will go byebye.)
