brommy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 3 weeks in Central Florida - in a 'villa' of course! Chill-out days by the pool and Gulf Coast beaches interspersed with action days at various theme parks, go-karting, air-boating and mini golf. Looking forward to it - a lot! I managed to get a relatively good deal flying in BA Club Class so I'm hoping to avoid some of the shitty jet lag, especially being able to sleep flat on the overnight return.

Shillzz Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I get the same Wiggy, not much fun, particularly when atleast 7 or 8 of those days are used up for study leave, which I thankfully no longer have to do as of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2012 25ish is about normal isn't it? I get 25, plus statutory. HAve to take a few of my days at xmas, but end up with 21 or 22 to take throughout the year. If I@m still at JLR next year I think I get an extra day for 5 years service. WOO!

bickster Posted May 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 10, 2012 16 days a year that I can take by choice, I also get one day every three weeks - compulsory i.e. I get paid for one extra shift a week that I don't do I do however only work a 4 day week and in my 3 week rota there is a complete week off every three weeks, meaning I work 11 shifts in 21 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted May 10, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2012 I work for myself so I get zero paid holidays. I just budget for a few weeks off during the year, so if I have a good month a percentage of it goes in the holiday pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
