10 YEAR SERVICE

amercy · March 2005

When an employee reaches 10 years of service in your company, do you provide additional benefits, especially more vacation time? Also, what is the total amount of vacation you provide for an employee with 10 years of service?

JF12 · March 2005

When an employee reaches 10 years, we give them an additional week of vacation to a total of 25 days per year.

GM · March 2005

We give 3 weeks vacation at 7 years of service and that is the max. that we get (ever). We have some good benefits, but vacation is not one of them.

We give three weeks after ten, before that you get two. I want to work at JF12's company! x:D

HRCalico · March 2005

No kidding! We do 2 weeks after 1, 3 weeks after 9 and 4 weeks after 20. Perhaps you could wrestle a prized parking spot away from someone who doesn't deserve it and give it to the 10 year person? x:D Ah, I'm just jealous. As a part-timer, I arrive about 2 hours after most everybody else. Some days I think I'd just as well walk from home . . .

POPEYE · March 2005

1 Yr - 1 week
2 Yr - 2 weeks
5 Yr - 3 weeks
9 Yr - 4 weeks
14 Yrs - 5 weeks

Plus, with perfect attendance our EEs can earn
3 hours a month additional vacation.

Popeye:

I hate to go off in a different direction, but your post brings me back to an issue I posted a long time ago. That is, when your employees take their three hours of extra vaction time, which was earned for perfect attendance, do you have to compute those three hours in their overtime for that week? For every labor lawyer, FLSA expert, and/or HR professional I ask I get about a 50/50 response as to yes or no. There doesn't seem to be a concensus of opinion one way or the other. Your thoughts?

If a person takes leave during the week, they aren't working. How does that equal overtime?

Your thoughts?

It will depend on what your policy is. As Don stated, you are not obligated to. We do however, calculate any paid time as worked time for overtime considerations.

MaryHR · March 2005

Our vacation policy is:

2 weeks to start
3 weeks at 5 years
4 weeks at 10 years
5 weeks at 15 years

and so on. For every 5 years, an additonal week.

nietra · March 2005

Our vacation is:

1 year - 10 days
2-5 years - 15 days
5-10 years - 20 days
10+ years - 25 days

We top out at 3 weeks after 3rd year. And nothing more except applause for each anniversary.

5 year award is $500 Bose Wave Radio CD Player.
10-year (my anniversary is today! Yee-ha!) is $750 gift cert.
Of course, there are tax issues and such gifts may need to be reported, esp. the $750 gift cert.

10 years = 4 weeks vacation (another Yee-ha!)

jmcaa · April 2005

Hey stretched2thin,
Thanks for replying.......I've always wondered how much one of those Bose Wave Radio CD Players are! You know when they don't put the price in the advertisement that it costs too much!!!
