Quite a few here don't take many holidays because of the fact we don't get any pay when we are off.

If we don't take ours, the days are lost as well as the money.. So it pays to take them..

I plan on it.. The first year I worked there I lost a couple days because I didn't take them.. They really didn't explain the repercussions of not taking them or even letting me know I had any..

I think that gets overlooked often. In some companies it saves some money.

Where I worked before they would force us to take vacation to keep the bottom line in sync.. Vacation time came out of a different bucket.. So ever quarter we would have to take a weeks vacation.. The good thing was I got 4 weeks a year when they started that.

If a stat holiday falls a day we work we get it off with pay. If it falls on a day off we get paid for it.
