I think OP means paid time off.


A teacher’s job includes pay during the summer. It can be paid out evenly during the academic year, paid in a lump sum in the last paycheck of the academic year, or in fewer cases paid out over 12 months.

If you can’t budget for this, that’s your problem. You can also find a summer job.



It includes part of their paychecks from the school year that they have opted to hold back so they can receive paychecks during the summer. It doesn't include pay during the summer because their contract is over. FTFY.

Buddy of mine is a private practice nephrologist, made partner two years ago at age 35. He gets 11 weeks off but it’s pretty inflexible. The weeks are assigned 9+ months in advance. Plus, he has to work call one weekend per month.

Very good lifestyle though. He has more money that he knows what to do with, even right now when he’s still paying into the partnership. Bought his condo in cash. Wife, no kids, intend on living child free.

He is a business owner with unlimited demand and the AMA gate keeping competitors.


DP here. Say whatever you want, he’s living the dream.


I agree but it's not like OP can bop into Med school and start her own practice.

18 weeks that 4 months and 2 weeks correct. It's like over 1/3 of the year for vacation. Honestly I could never imagine in his vacation deprived nation that someone could have such a privilege. Wow. Good for him. That's some serious work life balance lol

Even if a company offers 6+ weeks of vacation, the real question is whether employees can take vacations without putting themselves at risk.

There’s 12 federal holidays, so basically over two work weeks. If you do an alternate work schedule, you can have a 3-day weekend twice per month if you 9 hours of work the other 11 days in the pay period.

Tbh, the Feds are among at best at vacation time. Unlimited rollover for sick leave, 240 hours/30 days roll over for annual leave. And you get it cashed out if you leave.

I’ve yet to see a private sector employer with such flexibility.


I'm one of your contractors for a big firm. I get five weeks paid, all the same holidays, full telework, flexible scheduling, and more pay.


Do you get to actually take it? Do you have similar rollover allowances and it’s paid out upon separation?

United Nations. 6 weeks paid vacation plus various holidays. Pension as well. But the pay is very low. I left for that reason. Even after assigning a monetary value to the 4 weeks extra days off compared to the private sector and the pension I am far better off in the private sector.
