[quote=Anonymous]Vacation is two weeks. For most APs that would be a traditional work week.

So if AP is normally scheduled M-F, they get those days and the weekends can be used to extend it (like I would at my typical salaried position).  That would be one of their two weeks.

If AP is normally scheduled, say M-Th all day, half day F and half day Sat or Sun, they would get all of that time off in a given week to make it a full week off, again adjacent weekends being a bonus - caveat here would be they might still be on the hook for the first Sat or Sun, depending on if it was a normally scheduled working weekend.  I would give them that extra half day though if they wanted it to extend their time for travel.

Something else to consider is that APs could ask to take the days one/two at a time.  That can be inconvenient for HF and expectations should be discussed before matching (vacation can/cannot be take in smaller than one week increments, HF will/will not choose one of the vacation weeks, HF needs xx amount of notice prior to vacation, etc).  If single days off are allowed then it's 10 days they get, not 14.  But again on a split schedule say working only half day Fri and half on Sat, they'd use one day to take both of those half days off and get a full long weekend.
