American with a non-profit research-ish job: 25 days/year PTO (accrue about one day every two weeks) I started at 20 days, but after two years bumped up to 25, I think there's another bump at 8 years. 10 paid holidays No sick days (it all comes out of the paid time off pool)
Unfortunately, I've been using most of my PTO to work on projects for grad school near the end of every semester. -Matt On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 8:36 AM, Moandji Ezana <mwa...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 4:13 PM, Les Stroud <stroud....@gmail.com> wrote: > >> As a side note, I have never understood the concept of paid vacation. >> I think it is an artifact of trying to simplify payroll systems and >> does not reflect reality. >> > > I thought it was a result of social progress.
