" A study commissioned by the group found that more than 40% of American workers who receive paid time off finish the year without using all of their allotted vacation time.

Workers who are given paid time off had an average of 3.2 days of unused vacation time in 2013, according to the study by the research firm Oxford Economics.

The study concluded that if Americans spent all of their allotted vacation time, the economy would gain an additional $160 billion in vacation spending and $21 billion in tax revenues, supporting 1.2 million jobs."

A lot of people like to roll over vacation time. Not every job allows this, but many do. Granted, many people who habitually save vacation time like squirrels gathering acorns for winter are never actually going to take that big long 5 week vacation to SE Asia. But they think they might so they want to save, and that's not a bad decision per se. Especially since paid vacation that does accrue is paid out upon departure.

"The top reason for not taking vacation time was the concern that no other employee could do the job, followed by a fear of getting behind. Seventeen percent of respondents said they were afraid of losing their job."

My company does the latter, which is YNY. I accrue until I hit the max, and then I start using it at about the same rate that it replenishes. I do this because my salary is converted to an hourly wage and multiplied by my PTO balance when I leave the company.

Thanks to people who won't take their vacation, my company has decided to start an enforced vacation policy. Starting last year, everyone except for a skeleton crew is required to take a week of vacation around Christmas. That means that the average worker is then only left with one week ( 5 work days) of vacation time for the rest of the year. We got SCREWED thanks to the busy bodies squirreling away PTO and refusing to take vacation.

Yep, that's what we said. Plus, days that we could've taken essentially off without using PTO in the past (i.e.-Dec 24 or 31) are now forced PTO.

that's the stupidest fucking thing I ever heard. someone should tell those mexicans the difference between holidays and vacation days. it actually has nothing to do with busybodys and everything to do with your company run by morons.

and does that mean you only get 2 weeks per year normally?

I was prescient enough to negotiate 3 weeks of vacation instead of a bigger relo package. Everyone else who has been there under 5 years gets 2 weeks. I feel sorry for them, because this now means they get one week of vacation per year.

Most public school teachers get 5 personal/sick days a year (despite being surrounded by disease-harboring sniveling little shits) and their holidays all overlap with peak travel times. It is a cushy gig, but they are not exactly jetting off to Phuket for a week because there is some bargain fare in the middle of October. (You must be thinking of school administrators...)

i'm not reading the article, but i am guessing that this

" A study commissioned by the group found that more than 40% of American workers who receive paid time off finish the year without using all of their allotted vacation time.

Workers who are given paid time off had an average of 3.2 days of unused vacation time in 2013, according to the study by the research firm Oxford Economics.

The study concluded that if Americans spent all of their allotted vacation time, the economy would gain an additional $160 billion in vacation spending and $21 billion in tax revenues, supporting 1.2 million jobs."

http://articles.latimes.com/2014/feb/23/business/la-fi-mo-vacation-time-20140221

means this:

1. the group that commissioned the study is a liberal group with a liberal agenda

2. it's unlikely, near impossible, that it is use it or lose it. it's more likely that the people who don't use it get to carry it over or get to cash it in.

3. the study's conclusion is pure, unequivocable bullshit. only you shitlibs would sucker on to it

More than one-third of companies (38 percent) require employees to use all of their vacation days each year or lose them.

Among those non-rollover employers, 36% of employees let 3 or more PTO days expire.

and then 36% of those 38% are burning 3 or more days

we're getting into a much smaller number of people than the bullshit 40% in the op

op states 40% of americans don't use all of their pto

that really meant 40% of americans who have pto don't use all of it

the cite you provided, motherfucker, states that only 38% of the companies (that have pto) require that employees use it or lose it

so now we are only talking about 38% of 40% because the other 62% can carry it over and counting them as relevant makes fuckall sense, right?

then, of the 38% of the 40%, only 36% of them are losing 3 more more days

get it?

At bigfed we get 20 days PTO a year plus 10 federal holidays. I am rolling over 30 days as well. Everyone uses all of their leave.

You also get 13 sick days a year that can be used for mental health or whatever, and as long as you use less than 3 sick days in a row they cannot require a doctors note.

We used to get 3 weeks, which no one ever used up but would accumulate year over year up to some cap that I forget. Then ITE happened, and they didn't want to have to pay out a month's salary in addition to severance when they shitcanned people. So now we get "unlimited vacation." Thanks, boomers.
