Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

I know it is not my business so feel free not to answer- just curious how my job and benefits compare to other L.I. girls....
I know I am lucky in the benefits dept- I get 12 sick days, 6 personal days, and 4 weeks vacation.
How is everyone else doing?

I get 3 weeks vacation (b/c I have been there over 3 years), 2 personal days and 5 sick days. Seems pretty low compared to others.

Re: Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

OMG, this sucks!! I only get 2 weeks vacation and a week of 'unscheduled' days - that's sick/personal days all together.

ETS: And I've been here 4 years in January!

Re: Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

I have 3 weeks vacation, 6 personal/sick days. I work for an Orthodox Jewish company so we close early on Fridays and have all the Jewish holidays off which can add 5 - 12 days off for us.

Re: Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

I get 20 days of what they call PTO (paid time off) - that includes sick and vacation time - it is rolled into one sum. Additionally, I get 3 personal days or floaters. And 10 paid closed holidays. So, 33 days altogether. I have been with my company 3.5 yrs. After 5 yrs, paid time off increases.

We also have summer fridays (get out at noon every fri Mem Day-Labor Day) but have to work an extra hour each day during the work week to make up for it but its a nice program.

Re: Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

I've been at my job for 3 years. I get 4 weeks vacation, I think 12 or 14 days sick, and a bunch of personal days I think it's 6.

Re: Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

My company starts with 2 weeks vacation but after 5 years you are at 3 weeks so I get three weeks vacation, 3 personal days, 1 floating holiday and then sick time (I think 10 days - but I never use it all so it isn't a issue).

Re: Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

i get two weeks vacation. I think you get an increase after 5 years (i'll be here three in Feb, although I hope to not be here in Feb).
Sucks because DH gets 4.

Sick days are sort of unnumbered. They just ask that you not take advantage, so if you take too many you will get a poor review.

Re: Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

One of the only perks of working at a law firm in NYC is that the PTO is really good

I get 4 weeks vacation (20 days), 8 sick and 2 personal days.. though at this firm its all lumped together as 'Paid Time Off' for a total of 30 days you can use however you'd like

My old firm was a bit more generous - 20 days vacation, unlimited sick, 2 personal. Though about the time I was leaving, they were doing away with the 'unlimited sick' time since 'certain people' were abusing that privilege!!

Re: Salary and benefits poll- sick days posts got me thinking

I have 3 weeks vacation (been here 3+ years) and 10 personal/sick days and 3 floater holidays. We also get 3 summer fridays off. It is frowned on if you use all of of the personal/sick days....but I personally don't care...I take what I need!
