yay! it's here!

I checked my timecard today, and I am now officially accruing leave at my new rate (7.38 hours per fortnight) instead of the old rate (5.85 hours per fortnight).

Oh, the places I'll go with all that extra leave! Good thing I've stuck it out for ten years!

Happy job anniversary!

Thanks!

Sounds so bizarre...they just give me 7 weeks standard leave, 10 days public/statutory and a flexi leave system where time accrued over my standard day can be built up to 3 days per month off. Well done!

Well, it sounds bizarre because I'm describing it by breakout. In sum it's 24 days leave per year (vacation and sick leave combined, up from 19 when I was a humble nine-year employee), which is in addition to 9 days of holiday leave (seven federal holidays and two personally chosen).

SEVEN WEEKS LEAVE plus 10 holidays? *cries*

OK that doesn't sound too bad but 25 days is the starting leave here for a lot of areas. Please, don't cry.

WAIT A MINUTE...Sick leave and vacation combined...what!

[winterbadger]

Yeah, sucks, doesn't it? :-(
