Pay and benefits: how much PTO do you get?

[Anonymous]

Dozens of threads on how much you get paid, but I'm interested in how your benefits stack up against your pay, and particularly how much paid time off you get. My salary is on the lower end of what I could earn with other organizations (I work for a non profit) but my PTO and some of my other benefits are great. I'd like to switch jobs but am reluctant to give up the paid time off.

So, what do you consider yourself to be well paid (relative to others in your industry) and how much PTO do you get? What about other benefits?

I'll start - non profit, not well paid, get 8.5 hours per pay period = 29 days per year, plus all federal holidays and the day after Thanksgiving (sick leave and personal leave and vacation are all rolled in).

17 days of PTO for new hires. It increases every 5 years.

I'm a fed who makes 80k and I get 6 hours a pay period of annual leave= 19.5 annual leave days.

We get a lot of BS holidays like MLK, presidents day and Columbus day, but I'd much prefer the day after Thanksgiving or the day after Christmas.

Is that inclusive of sick leave? Or do you have a separate sick leave allowance? What about personal days?

As a fed you also get sick leave though, don't you? And personal days?

Some Fed offices give personal days and are closed the day after Thanksgiving, etc.

Yes feds do get "sick leave," but I hate it. I would much, much prefer like 3 "personal days" and then also having short term disability or maternity or something like that for more serious issues. Sick leave is VERY abused by feds who've been there for a long time (and thus have hundreds of hours saved) whereas younger employees can't save enough for maternity or when things go wrong (broken leg, surgery etc). Most fed women in their 20s only have enough sick leave for maybe 4 weeks of maternity leave.
