I am finalizing my 2014 handbooks and this is the last thing I need to do. What days is everyone taking off in 2014?
Jan 1 is obviously one of my days (which I honestly do NOT like taking unless it falls on a Friday.)

I get 10 paid vacation days, 2 personal/sick paid days and 3 unpaid days
New Years Day
July 4 (Friday)
11/27 & 11/28 (Thurs and Fri-thanksgiving)
12/24, 12/25 & 12/26 (Wed-Fri, Christmas)
That's 7. Maybe a week off in summer and another 3 day weekend thrown in somewhere. There is a giant stretch from NY to 4th of July! -
I was just sitting here trying to decide what days to take off next year. My handbook says, We reserve the right to close on any federally recognized holiday.Comment

Wow! Do you find clients gripe about the Veterans, MLK, Presidents Day type closures? It seems like a lot for some working people, not that you don't deserve it. I mean, if they know at signing a contract they can not say anything but, I think I would habe a hard tome fondong clients here that would not need care thkse days. I an totally envious!

I also am taking a couple of Fridays off in the spring to go visit colleges with my son and I am taking a Thursday- Tuesday vacation week in August. (By going that way I still get paid for my publicly funded kids) So like 6 other days.
Thanks for helping me nail that one down

I offer care on those days but for a little more money. (since it is a holiday)Wow! Do you find clients gripe about the Veterans, MLK, Presidents Day type closures?

Luckily for me, I have all federal employees or business owners and they have the same days off.Comment

I get paid 52 weeks flat rate for every family regardless which include the above listed holidays along with Child Care Conferences in the Spring & Fall (Thurs & Fri for each). I am closed Wed thru Labor Day plus the week Dec. 24 thru Jan 1 every year....I also take two days around Memorial day and July 4. I also leave in there 5 personal days to b used separate or consecutive. Emergenye days without notice are also listed (sickness, death, no electricity or water). I tried to cover myself in every aspect.... My contract is very precise and I over emphasize the importance of READING the contract.

I explain that these are school holidays and I have my own children which allows special "family time" which is of great importance to me. I am sure I get some bashing behind my back, but as long as they respect me enough to pay and stick with my program rules, I can deal with it.Wow!

In the past I took
New Years
MLK
Good Friday
Memorial Day
4th of July
Labor Day
Veteran's Day
Thanksgiving (closed at 3 on Wed and off Thurs/Fri)
Christmas (closed at 12 Christmas Eve - Jan 1)
My schedule is different now because I follow the school schedule but I never get President's Day because our schools don't get it off.Comment

Per my contract-
New Year's Day
Memorial Day
4th of July
Labor Day
Thanksgiving
Day after Thanksgiving
Christmas Eve
Christmas Day
I will also be closed 1 week in July for vacation.
I am seriously thinking I will be closed a few more days than this because since the 23rd I have had 2 or less kids per day and some have not showed up to pay. It's not worth my time to work for $85 per week and keep the electricity on out there. Since I plan on reducing my group size to around 4-5 this coming year and all of my clients are teachers & Federal workers, something has to change.Comment

I took:

I also put that whatever days that I don't use of the sick/personal/etc... days, that I will use them for the week of Christmas.Comment

I take 6 paid federal holidays, 5 paid personal days and 5 unpaid personal days that are scheduled in advance.
next year I'm trying something different that I hope I don't regret. I'm eliminating a few of the usual long weekends I take, and taking a full week in June (unpaid) and then a fulll paid week around Christmas.
