How many vacation days for first job after college?

Friday, January 1st, 2010

MeganM asked:

I’m an accounting major, probably going to be working in a non-big four public accounting firm. How many days vacation/sick/personal days can I expect?
I considered Big 4, but honestly 60+ hours a week is not my thing.

How do I ask my boss for an extra vacation day?

Friday, December 25th, 2009

quortnie11 asked:

I started my job 4 months ago and I have only accrued 4 vacation days. I was planning on going away for a week before I started. But they needed me to start earlier and the person that hired me said if I started early, I could just take my vacation at a later time. Now that I have asked my boss for 5 days off, she said “no leave without pay”. I think since its one more day, she could bend the rules (she is a senior manager). Another co-worker said she took off a day without pay in her first month of being here, approved by her manager. How can I phrase my question for the extra day, so she will say yes?

Do my vacation days count if the office is closed due to weather?

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

ACE Tx asked:

I recently gave my notice at my job, and are taking my unused days as personal days. When I come back, I am supposed to train my replacement. But, I am in Texas, and there is a potential hurricane coming, and they may be closing the office on the days that I am taking off. Does this mean that they still count as vacation days, although the office is closed?
I get paid regardless, but if I am using my vacation day tomorrow, and the office is closed anyway, shouldn’t I still have that vacation day to use?

What’s the difference between sick days & vacation days?

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Bob Smith asked:

I’m a recent graduate and am working my first job. My employer gives me 10 vacation days and 10 sick days — What is the difference? I know vacation days are planned, but what about sick days. Couldn’t I just fake a sickness? Or are they treated like vacation days.

What career is there, where I don’t have to work all day, I get great vacations, and I make at least $40,000?

Friday, December 28th, 2007

TheChad asked:

Are there any careers out there where I can not have to work all day, say 8am to 3pm. I get great vacation time and I will make at least $40,000 a year?

I just want to live life and enjoy my wife and kids (when I get them) and friends without working 8 to 5 and having no vacations.

If I resign a job with enough vacation to last until next year, can I get paid for vacation next year also?

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

craigwenger asked:

I have about 3 weeks of vacation time left at my current job. I am planning to resign such that December 12, 2008 is my last day, and take vacation until the end of the year. Obviously I will get paid until December 31, 2008. But since I have some leftover days, could I technically be considered an employee on January 1, 2009, at which point I could take my 3 weeks of vacation time for 2009, and get paid for those extra 3 weeks?

I assume it depends on the company and I will have to ask payroll, but is it typical to allow that?
