How Much Paid Vacation Time Do You Take?

[Brittany]

Thanks for all the ideas on how you do vacation. I guess i feel somewhat guilty for taking vacation time even tho I know I shouldn't. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season

How much vacation time do you alow parents?

As stated in my post, each parent pays the same rate 52 weeks a year.

They can take as much or as little vacation as they want but their weekly rate remains the same.

Ah, yes. Ty, I was feeling like I didn't give my dcp enough. I take 9 days and give my dcp 7 days.

I just met with a newish provider in my area that was looking for some assistance in setting her policies for her own and her client vacations and although I am satisfied with the way I do things now (why not? I get paid 52 weeks a year) I did think she settled on a good compromise for both herself and her clients and choose to go the accrued route.

She is going to:

• give 1 day of vacation time per 6 weeks for every 5 day a week family
  
• give 1 day of vacation time per 8 weeks for every 4 day a week family
  
• give 1 day of vacation time per 12 weeks for every 3 day a week family

Anyone attending less than 3 days per week will get zero vacation days.

I really liked how that was worked out and if I had thought about it years ago, I would have implemented the same type of process.

I think it is fair to both provider and parent.
