How does your company calculate your paid vacation time?

I get one year weekly gross average for vacation pay. Usually the same as a Christmas bonus too

 

I see that now

 

The vacation pay is so complicated. But, it's comparable to what I make.

So last year's gross pay is divided by 52 weeks. Then, they take that number and divide it by 45 hours a week. This way, I can take as little as an hour of vacation to as much as 9 hours a day based on a per hour pay basis.

Mine is easy.
We have no vacation time.
But I did get 4,000 miles this week.

 

One of the reasons I do not envy anyone that works over there, in fact I'm not even sure what is the popularity in immigrating there anymore? Where you've got to work for almost 10 years for a company before you get 10 days annual leave. In our country you automatically qualify for 4 weeks annual paid leave after only 12 months of fulltime work. And 8 weeks long service leave after 10 years of continuous employment with the same company.

 

Is that base 3 math? (Close enough, I guess.)
We don't use base 3 out here, it is all base 10.

 

Every company is different. You can also negotiate additional paid time off at some companies.

 

Which country is that?

There are some companies rather like that here as well.
IKEA is one, where my sister works.
A Swedish company.

She has to take extra personal+ time off just because she will lose it next year, which is several weeks per year.
They are also very generous with the vacation time.

The problem here is, I think, that the companies keep such a short staff that they can not do without people for that long each year.
In the interest of the almighty buck (dollar... money) they keep as few people as possible, working as hard as possible, just to get the job done in a mundane fashion.
