You young guy! What are you going to do when you pick up your 7th week?May, June, July, August, October. Split week 6 into single days. Love the single days option.
I can't decide if I should take 3 weeks in a row in July. I never taken 3 weeks off from work and don’t know if I should, The question I have is do you prefer to take most of your weeks in a row or prefer to split the weeks up. Btw I'm taking my 4 week in February

My thought process on vacations has changed throughout my career. When the kids were young vacations were planned around their schedules. Now that they are grown, vacations are scheduled to include holidays, when possible, for the extra $$. My four remaining weeks all have a holiday within--Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor, Thanksgiving and the day after--and each will net an extra $225 ($450 for T-day week).
I've never understood this mentality. Guys in our center say "You're getting an extra days pay". You're not really. You will get paid for that day no matter what, you're just missing out on an extra day off. Not sure about you, but I'll take extra paid days off when ever I can get them.
You get paid an extra day that week, but you end up working one more day that year in exchange for it.We get 45 hours pay for our vacations and an additional 8 hours pay for any holiday(s) within that vacation. Last time I checked 53 hours is more than the 42 that I usually work. Here in Upstate NY if we want the additional day off it would be unpaid. For example, I am off Memorial Day week. I would get a check for 53 hours two weeks prior. If I request a day off for the holiday on the following Monday it would be unpaid. At this point I prefer the $$ rather than the days off.
