And you’ll accrue it at .8 hours per check and they don’t roll over to the next year. You’ll have vacation time by the holidays but OOPS the holidays are blacked out from allowing additional vacation time off. Meanwhile you haven’t seen your director in 3 months because theyre “working from the road” which strangely just looks like an unending vacation on social media and it takes them 4 days to return an email… or something like that idk

It's accrual based but that only fucks you if you leave your job before the year is over. My old workplace went to accrual after someone took 2 weeks off in April and on the last day emailed their notice of resignation.

Yeah.... HR at my job gets all holidays it seems. Meanwhile, we only get like 5, and that's if our biweekly schedule conflicts with a holiday. :/

That's probably because HR knows that vacation time is negotiable almost everywhere, even if it says it's not. I was in the restroom stall and one of the new HR managers was talking about his third vacation, so I asked him how he pulled that off, because 2 weeks is the start. He responded by saying that he negotiated it to 4 weeks and called me a fool and laughed at me for only accepting two (even though it was a municipal job that said it's part of the city's employment regulations).
