kirbypuckett Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 i work 4 hours on Christmas eve and get paid for the other half and then get Christmas off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Paid days off are the best days ever. Between our holiday schedule and my vacation days i have 23rd - 28th off and then the 30th - 1/3 off. the next couple weeks are gonna be great. Then Hell will hit in Jan - Feb. I was already told no days off, and lots and lots of overtime (unpaid because i am on salary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I've never had a job that pays holidays off... :-( But we get our paycheck a day early that week. Holla! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechevre Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Our company is giving us the 23rd, 24th, and 25th as paid holidays. STOKED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattoomike Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Unfortunately people still need EMS on holidays, so we don't get off. We're on a rotating schedule so that nobody has to work every holiday. This year I'm off on Christmas Day and New Years Eve. Last year I had to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but was off New Years Eve and New Years Day. Next year I'm off Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and work New Years Eve and New Years Day. If we do have to work a holiday we get overtime pay and 12 hours of Floating Holiday time (which is basically just more vacation time). So it's no big deal and most of the time I'm happy to work the holidays. Except having to work Thanksgiving this year, I usually take vacation around Halloween and Thanksgiving but only took off Halloween this year. I'm too far down the seniority list to get off around Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 My boss probably already assumes I'll be working until midnight Christmas Eve and Day. I think eve is time and a half, and Christmas Day is double time, so it may be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I get 24th and 25th and 31st and 1st off. Paid because I'm salary. And half day 23rd for the company party. Like MRC said though you dont get paid for overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchwarmer Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'm off from the 23rd to the 4th. sweeeeeeet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorbike Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 im off christmas day and have to work the full eight hours on christmas eve. my work pulled some shit this year. we normally get to cash out whatever vacation time we dont use by the end of the year. anyway, i got with our HR department to find out how much time i had (80 hours) and they said i would only be able to cash out 40 and the have to use the rest. i took this whole week off and ended up getting sick so it was essentially a waste. its shitty to the employees who think they can cash out all their time though.

wakeupandlive Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I have the 24-28 off, but I am using PTO for the 24 and the 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I managed to get Christmas Eve, and New Years Eve off this year. I have to work Christmas day, but it's double time, and New Years day is time and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akross Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I'm off from the 23rd to the 4th. sweeeeeeet. This. It is like a bonus week of vacation and it means I never have to work on my birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfourtwo Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I don't take any days off the entire year, and then when Christmas time comes around, I use up allllll of my Absence Reserve and peace for a few weeks. This time, its the 27th to the 14th. Can't wait. Then I start over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Yeah, we do all the family stuff on Christmas Eve, so it works out. It's also super super slow Christmas day, so it'll be optimal gaming time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
