We work a contracted rota pattern which equates to 2 weeks at work, 3 weeks at leave, on top of this we have 7 Company days which are used for training etc. Over a 5 years cycle this averages out at our contracted 154 days/annum.
If we exceed the annual rota+7, then we are paid for these days depending if they are callback/training/delay.
In summary, approx 7 months holiday per year

You need to rent a helicopter to fly our to their offshore (and I don't mean outsourcing) recruiting office. But do keep in mind that Dave's 2 week blocks of work include weekends; and get extended whenever weather is bad on the North Sea and his replacement can't be flown out. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have 6 weeks in contract, but I can free the extra hours with a 1:1 ratio.
So I have choosen unlimited. But not because it doesn't get tracked. I do have to say and to ask for permission, but it is usually quite easy to get them if the work situation allows it or if they were planned with enough time.
2 years ago I had 4 months holidays in a row. A coworker had 10 months (to build the house).

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I have somewhat complex holiday and vacation structure.
This includes:
1. Need based leave (Paternity, Maternity, Adoption, Bereavement, etc.) (Needs Approval, else other leaves will be deducted.)
2. Sick Leave
3. Additional Sick Leave (Needs proof and approval)
4. Casual Leave (Need pre-approval)
5. Privileged Leave (Needs pre-approval)
6. Public Holiday
7. Optional Holiday
8. Other Vacation (Needs Managers approval)
I don't think even my HR would have understood the exact clause. We just apply leave based on need and hope that we have leave balance. 
Life is a computer program and everyone is the programmer of his own life.

If i put resign letter on my Boss desk all holidays are convert to PAID 
if(resign)
{
int iAllHolidays = 20;
convert.ToPaid(iAllHolidays);
}

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

There is a bug with your code. You forgot to assign the result of the conversion to a variable, so if you are the one who coded the payroll app in your company, your holidays are gone!!!

Wait, what?! Do you still use Hungarian notations in C# code?! 
I am damned sure there are a lot of programmers out there who have this as the first item on their coding pet peeve list*.
*Proof: Search for "Coder Interview" articles on CodeProject.
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

I get eight paid holidays and about three weeks of PTO (vacation), how am I supposed to answer?
|
|
|
|

I think they are after the PTO days. The paid holidays you refer to are what we call Public Holidays, the poms call Bank Holiays.
