Who has the most vacation here?

How many weeks and are there any more openings at your workplace? Razz

5 months? What is your job? 22 weeks? what is your job!?

I get 35 days of the week off and all weekends.

Are you paid for these vacation days???

I believe Nova has the fewest vacation days, is that right?

Yes paid. I teach at a university.

Did I mention I have a 3 day work week as well?

I get about 10 weeks off on top of national holidays, plus contracts indicate I can ask for a certain number of days off. All paid, of course.

Ops, correction - about 14 weeks off, with incidental days off (certain events at the schools I don't attend).

does everyone get weekends off? or is that semi-rare?

I envy Gordon Cool

.

I get off quite a bit of time from my university, about 5 months, but I use part of that time for lesson planning and making worksheets and I work another job during some of that time. So, probably I take about 5 weeks (with pay) and take off other time as well, maybe 2-3 weeks. But I certainly work more than 3 days a week Wink

I'm at Geos and I get every Sunday and Monday off, 5 days at Golden Week (tues - sat), 5 days at New Year (varies, but five days I'd usually be working), plus 10 days of my choosing (11 next year, 12 the year after, 14 after that, up to a maximum of about 20/24), and any National Holiday that happens to fall on one of my work days, usually another 3 or 4 days.
