Those policies are different everywhere.

I have friends who get 2 weeks time off forever, regardless of seniority.

I thought so. I'm surprised there seeems to be missing some federalised protection of workers rights.

But if (???) I understand only thing guaranteed is min wage??

when I was hired it was stablished that my position was a 50hr a week job.. of course we get paid overtime (1.5xpay).. but sometimes we work less... 45.. but we average 45-50 hrs.. sometimes 55 a week... yea lovely 10+ hour shifts.. with no lunch break, we eat in our desks..

That must be hard to do. I can't imagine you fitting in one of those little desk drawers. :lol: :lol:

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :blush:

:lol:

on the leave bit, we get zero leave for the first year, on the one year anniversary we get 80 hours of leave. you accrue 80 hours every anniversary until the 9th anniversary, where you get 120 from then on. no sick leave, it comes out of your leave. so it has it's pros and cons.

eta: max accrual of leave is 200 hours, i'm at that. if over 200 hours on the anniversary they pay it out to bring it down to 200 hours.

So for 8 years you get two weeks leave and then you get rewarded with 3 weeks leave, till finally you get 5 weeks. Man that is tough. We aussie's and the Brits have it easy.

pretty much. getting to 5 weeks accrued leave isn't difficult, just don't take time off or get sick. :P
