soubriquet 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 5 days max. Soubriquette can't be away from her business for longer. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Nothing official summer hols but I have a good deal for a Japanese company cos its so flexible. It's complicated though, you've been warned... Every Wednesday off (fixed, company is closed) One other day a week off, but I can work and get time in lieu. (Daikyu - have to be used within the company year (Apr-Mar) National holidays (I can get daijyu as above) 23 paid hols to take whenever (Yukyu - I can carry them over to the following year, some people cash them in) 3 days at New year. The shop and clinic staff have a pretty innovative system. They get every Wed & New Year like me and then they have 86 holiday points which they can use whenever they want or cash in at a day's salary per point. If they use them on regular days 1 day is one point, but the have to use more points for weekends and peak times. They also get charged double points if they are sick or take sudden days off. If we don't have any hols left and get sick we can take unpaid leave. Me Tarzan is the same as Soubs'lady though. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sounds like a good system mejane, but do the J employees feel free enough to actually use them normally? At my school, although we have the right to a certain amount of paid holidays, many people don't actually take them because of perceived pressure. Fark that! Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yep, there's a good mentality here. Hours are 10am to 7 pm and they lock the building at 8, my boss doesn't agree with overtime! Most people work 6 days a week at least once a month to build up their hols but use them all in the year. They don't normally take more than two consecutive weeks off but think nothing of taking a week here or there. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 sounds good Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 With 7 workers (3 in two shops) plus 4 in the factory, running 364 days per year, there's no fat in the system. She took her laptop to Thailand and faxed the internet orders back. We are both getting old, but there's no let up for her. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I got only 2 weeks this year because I used a week in Spring and a extra week for the coming winter. Not planning to do anything so don't need the time off! Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 surely it's an annual leave allocation that you can have anytime of the year. For instance, 3 weeks for winter on the snow and 2 for the beach in Summer. I think none of us here would spend their entire vacation allowance on the beach. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I actually dont get "vacation" as most normal people do. We have time off but we are actually considered on the clock year round. Extremely busy being a homeroom teacher and club coach. Those in themselves are full-time jobs yet I still have to teach, plan,grade etc. So glad to be getting semester grades in the computer today and then a 3 day weekend to relax Link to post Share on other sites
