I get 10 days gratis per year, plus the option to purchase up to another 20 days. We buy the extra days with a monthly allowance we are given to purchase our benefits, which is in addition to our salary. I buy the maximum--20 days--even if I don't use it all, because I get the money spent for unused time back at the end of the year.
We also get 10 holidays, which is great. Its nice to know that I have 30 working days in the bank, but the only downside is that those 30 days cover everything--sick, vacation, personal time, bereavement, etc. If you get really ill, or need some kind of surgery...it could wipe you out of your time for the entire year in one fell swoop.
Hope you're feeling better soon, Rhonda!
