One interesting thing about pro-rata vacation for anyone thinking about going to part time: you still get exactly the same number of weeks off regardless.
The trick to that I will leave as an exercise to the reader. It's something I was thrilled to discover by accident.
- Wowfunhappy 7y ago> The trick to that I will leave as an exercise to the reader. Huh? Sorry, I'm not following.
- sopooneo 7y agoSorry. Didn't mean to be coy. But, to make the math easier, imagine a full timer 25 days of vacation per year = five weeks. Great. Now let's say that person goes down to 80% time, working four days a week. Now they only earn 25 days * 80% = 20 days of vacation per year. But this person only works four days a week. So to spend a full week away only requires using up four vacation days. (20 days of vacation) / (4 days/week) = five weeks. Great.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoAh, thanks. This only works if you work fewer days per week as opposed to fewer hours per day.
- interactivecode 7y agodon't know about you but my vacation days are calculated per hour. hence people sometimes take half a day off
