    Every month work has puzzles/quiz's and other games to do with safety awareness. When you get a perfect score your entry gets entered into a drawing. Just found out my name was pulled and I get another free day off with pay or $50 smackers cash.

    Wanna bet which one I took! :whistle:

    Hint it aint da :makeitrain"

    Depends on how many days off you get...
    I never used all of mine anyway.... so the $50 was a true bonus..

    I get 5 weeks vacation and 3 personal days. Still aint enough for me. I'll take everyone they give me.

    Note: we don't get paid for unused vacation. So its all given back if you don't use it. So I use every bit of it!!

    That would be about any day! :D

    Forgot about the holidays. 8 with a floater. This year the floater was July 3rd so we didn't need to work Monday before the holiday.

    Used to get 6 sick/personal days. But the new company dropped it to 3. :(

    Even though I only work P/T, they asked me to fill-in last year for a full timer for about 3 months, and my average hours were high enough that the state told my employer "Make him full time!" But I had just applied for early SS, and would get penalized if I worked more than 27/hrs week this year.

    So, the company just said the hell with it, we'll treat you like full time (personal days & paid holidays), but only work less than 27 hrs. So, I work P/T, get 24 personal/vacation/sick days a year (use 'em or lose 'em), and the paid holidays! :thumbs:

    I'm getting a little over 4 weeks vaca and 12 sick days a year plus I think 11 holidays. We don't lose it so right now I have 225 hrs vacation and 501 hrs sick in the bank. We get paid for all unused vacation when we retire but only 30 days of sick, so I need to start using some of it.
