discretionary or vacation days?

Sounds like the VPs need to get together and be more consistent!   It is of concern to me that they are so scattered in figuring this out!  \n\nTo me, I can see the arguement both are making.  However, if going the route of saying you already used your days, I think they need to have documentation of that in the system somewhere.

It depends on the company of course, but as a general rule, you - if vacation time is one of the written benefits, you should receive payment for the vacation time equal to your rate of pay.  This is also dependent upon your state's employment laws.  I know that in California, I was able to file a complaint when I didn't receive my vacation compensation and it was ordered to be paid.

I agree completely.  American vacation policy sucks.  I work for a company that was just purchased by a European firm, so I'm hoping they will extend their European vacation mentality to our operations.\n\nPerhaps we can blame the Puritans and their work-ethic for our current vacation policy?

it's a special holiday and it depends on your company if they will declare no work (if you're working in a private one, otherwise you don't have to report for work).

I have to agree with Ivy...mostly for the same reasons.  I work Monday through Friday, my son goes to school Monday through Friday, and my wife works Sunday through Thursday.  So Saturday is our Family Day and we try to take advantage of it as best we can...trips to Virginia Beach, cook-outs in the backyard, etc...  Good Times!

Hmmm... is the trick to this question the fact that you didn't specify that you could have days that had both a clear morning and afternoon?\n\nYour vacation must be at least 15 days long by the first criterium.\nEach of those days could account for one clear morning or one clear afternoon\nFor the shortest vacation possible, I'll say that 8 of those rainy days had clear afternoons, 7 had clear mornings.\nThe last five days were entirely clear, accounting for the last mornings and afternoons.\n\nYour vacation was 20 days long-- 8 rainy mornings, 7 rainy afternoons, and 5 clear days, satisfying all criteria.

Yeah, that sux when that happens. Try to schedule your vacation when no other holidays are occurring.\nOr, go in on a Friday and tell them you are taking your 2 week vacation starting next Monday and, you are giving your 2 week notice of quiting too.\nI've done that and it is the BEST way of leaving.

I could be wrong, but I think that is more of an 'employer specific' kind of question. I live in Pennsylvania and I have held several different types of jobs here- some allow the rollover vacation days and others consider it a forfeiture of days at year's end, if they aren't taken....\nSo I think it might really be up to you employer...

I think I am just speculating but I think you would have almost everyday off since each country has different days of significance.  Like in India there is some holiday going on everyday.

It depends what kind of sales you are talking about.  I used to manage a clothing store so when it came to budgets and scheduling, I looked at previous years for the same month.  I also took into consideration when government cheques were issued.  I found the mall to be extremely busy on welfare day.

I know in New Hampshire it is vacation week. Could be in other states as well.

Everyone is allowed  two days off work. These days do not have to be consecutive. This is the law. If the employee chooses to work 7 days a week, that is up to the boss to allow or not.

You would be better off spreading it out, but if you want the money now, just claim more exemptions on your W-4 so they take less tax out. In the end, it doesn't matter because you'll just resolve it on tax day, so it only matters whether you want the money all right now.

In the US there are no legal requirements for any paid holidays/vacation at the federal level or state level. The only regulations are in regards to minimum wages, minor-employees, and work times (such as overtime).
