DH has worked for the same company for 7 years, and after 5 full years (so you're into your 6th year), they increase the paid holidays from 2 weeks to 3 weeks. So, this past year we got an increase in holidays...all the previous years we'd used up our holidays quickly and would be scrambling when it came to the days of in Christmas because they guys got it off without pay.
ANYway...this Christmas was the same thing...DH was scrambling to bank extra hours to pay for the time off, and was going to be 3 days short, which is a mega cut into the paycheck. But, when he got his check, it was a full check, and he wasn't really sure what was up with that.
Today he found out...well...his "anniversary" is January 9 (it used to be April because when Mason got sick, they paid out his vacation time so he could take days off, and then gave him a leave of absence so he could get unemployment). So they recently changed that AND...they must have messed up counting his vacation days because even AFTER they used 3 days to cover what he was missing for Christmas, he's got 3 weeks and 2 days of holidays to use this year (17 days total - a "week" is 5 days because they get weekends off). Apparently they bank vacation time.
DH and I have done the math and KNOW he took 3 weeks vacation last year (because we went to California in April). But...we're not complaining, lol. Usually we have to be so stingy with our vacation days, but not this year!
