Current Events > How much paid time off do you have saved up?

(+) Yeah! (+)

188 hours. I'm trying to save up 1000.

but suckingly I used up almost 160 hours this year.

I have 5 personal days for this year and like 160 sick days built up over time.
I am a teacher. Our sick days rollover from year to year, and we can save up a max of 5 personal days if you don't use them the previous year. And of course as a teacher I already get al weekends, holidays, and summers off. But I also never take days off during the year.

I have 20 vacation days, 3 floaters, and maybe 5 sick days total for a whole year. I'm down to 8 hours left total now, which I am saving for Halloween.

what are your plans for Halloween?

None, as a part timer I can take time off pretty much whenever I want to, but it's not paid.

I think I have 4 weeks of vacation and like 2 months worth of sick time atm

I guess that is the "cost" of flexibility, some people prefer it that way

I have 269 vacation hours and like 390 sick hours. But I'm about to quit my job in January and I can only cash out 240 vacation hours, so I'mma use up a lot of sick time in the next two months

150 hours or so

I think like 140

I've actually been using it some at this job, since I actually like the job for once.

No plans, just wanted the day off. November and December already have a lot of holidays in them that we already get off (Thanksgiving and Black Friday, Christmas Day and the day after) so I wanted to have one for October as well.

I'm part time and I don't get paid time off.

240 hours is the use or lose it cap at the end of every year, and I've had my leave balance end every year above 200 hours since COVID.

It's my company, I don't get paid time off.

40

Just took a two week vacation. Ours caps out at 120 then you stop earning it until you use some.

I ain't got shit.
Used it all earlier in the year when my son was born.
I only meant to use two weeks worth, but I ended up taking another week because he was in the NICU for a long time

8.5 weeks of vacation and six months of sick leave.

I can carry forward 6 weeks of vacation leave so I still need to take a couple weeks around Christmas and spring break.

80 annual leave
240 sick
32 time off award
3 credit time

80 hours, and I lose them if I don't use them. Need to try and fit them before the end of the year.

I dont get to save up, it always restarts at the beginning of the year.

My maximum vacation balance based on my years of service is 432 hours. It is why I take 2 to 3 days off every month to keep below my maximum. I stay hovered around the 420 hour range of vacation. 75% of the year I'm on a 3 day weekend.

I also have a balance of compensatory time (comp time) from working overtime or holidays you can take time off instead of extra money if you want. We are allowed to keep 80 hours of that on the books and anything over 80 at the end of the month they just pay out as extra pay.

So at all times between my vacation and comp time I have 500 hours on the books. This isn't counting my paid sick leave which is separate and there is NO cap on that and you can just keep it adding up and up and up. We get 18 paid sick days a year.

Needless to say I get a lot of paid time off each year. Outside of people who are in teaching and get summers off i pretty much always get more time off than anyone I know. I actually have an awesome job. Good pay for the area and amazing benefits. Free/cheap insurance, 200% employer contribution to my retirement from what I put in. No complaints.

~240 hours annual leave
~900 hours sick leave

In my past job you could work over time and save the hours so I would stack 200 hours of overtime with my 3 weeks of vacation to take January and February off.

16 hours of vacation and 100 hours of sick
I used to just get all my vacation paid out at the end of the year, but can actually afford to go on vaction nowadays. Took a week to cruise to Mexico and two weeks for Japan this year.

150-200 hours of vacation, no sick.

I get 23 PTO days per year, they dont rollover. We also get 8 paid holidays. I would like to have closer to 30 PTO days but 23 isnt bad compared to so many other companies.

How do you guys save up that much? I accrued about 3 weeks' worth including floating holidays (changing employer next month) and would always go through it throughout the year. I think many places will cut off your time at around 80 hours or so, so it's bizarre to me that they let you accrue that much.

I get the following every year:
25 PTO days
2 floating holidays
8 company holidays

42 days of annual leave
34 days of sick leave

I earn 15 of each per year

2 days.

....I recently took a month off work so.

None. I used almost all of it the first 6 months.

how come you're quitting? you have another job lined up?

Over 40, I have next week off so it'll be back down to single digits (or low double digits. I haven't checked since I put in the request last month >_>).

138.93 hours PTO + 8 hours float
I have not taken a single vacation, so rage arc due to happen at some point

Can only carry over 40 PTO/year

You have to save up PTO and sick time? What the fuck.

For me, it's all one bucket. I've done it both ways and it hardly matters to me.

But anyway, everywhere I've worked they give you 40 hours your first year, 80 your second, 120 your third and beyond, or some similar formula. It's always at the start of the year, so if you took the job and immediately got sick, you'd have sick hours. I mean, unless you didn't have the benefit at all, which I've also done.

The saving part is because they usually roll over up to a certain maximum.

Like 100 annual.

Like 0 sick.

I've used 56 of my 192 hours

Thanks for explaining.

I have around 149 hours right now, but I'm using 40 of it in a few weeks for my annual November week off.

For myself, I get 160 hours of annual leave a year. My balance was rising slowly since I generally use my annual leave to travel and visit family, but then COVID hit so I took very little time off for two years. Since then the cushion has generally stayed above 200, making sure I'm comfortably below the 240 cutoff as year-end approaches.

I currently have 135 PTO and 2 SL. I accrue about 16.5 PTO every month and a small amount of SL. A family health crisis is currently causing me to drain SL and use "vacation time".

We can only carry over 80 PTO each year, but we are paid for the forced cash-out.

About 50 hours, but they don't roll over so I have to use them by the end of the year or they're gone.

I just rechecked this morning

If my math is right I have 23 days of sick time and 22 days of vacation time. That equates to 4 weeks and 3 days of sick time and 4 weeks and 2 days of vacation time. Not bad. Government jobs can be a good thing, I recommend it for any of yall even if it's just custodian work.

Yeah some jobs refreshes them for you every year of your hire date or even just the start of a new year but some jobs you have to accrue them.

175 hours

I think newer companies are bit more stingy with PTO but older companies have just grandfathered in their PTO accrual because new hires expect what their coworkers got when they first started
