We get the following holidays:

Christmas Day
The day after Christmas
New Years' Day
July 4
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
The day after Thanksgiving
One floating holiday of the employee's choice--may be used to cover any
religious or civic holiday not included above

If any of the above holidays occurs on a weekend, we get to choose on an
individual basis whether to take the previous Friday or the following
Monday off.  The Art Center itself is closed on the holiday, but open on
the Friday and Monday.  Enough people have to remain to keep operations
going on those days.

Full-time employees get 10 days paid leave after 1 full year of work,
which goes to 15 days after 5 years, 20 days after 10 years, and 25 days
after 15 years.  I assume it continues to 30 days after 20 years and 35
days after 25 years, but nobody's been here that long...

We get sick leave in the amount of 1 day per month worked (actually it
is 1/2 day per pay period, but works out to be 1 day per month), with a
maximum carry-over of 5 days per fiscal year.  We also get 3 "personal"
days per year, to use for family or personal business (such as funerals,
or having to wait all day at the license branch because you let your
license expire...).

We think this system is fair, but of course hardly anybody takes all the
vacation days to which they are entitled (too much to do!).  We also
have a great health plan that pays for preventive visits, so hardly
anybody gets sick unless it is an emergency thing.
