No sick days or personal days, but you can use your vacation hours towards anytime take off.
In our business you can always make up the time if you need it.

We're a small company with only seven full time employees, three part timers and one operator/bookkeeper:
Currently, we don't do 'paid holidays' unless they land on a regular work day - and provided that we don't work.
Full time employees get a one week paid vacation after one year service, two weeks after two years and three weeks after five years (based on their average number of non-overtime hours worked during the year).

Yo T - If you're referring to me...
If they have to work weekends they have the option to take a day off during the week. For emergency flood/fire calls, they're paid extra (about $170/call) plus overtime after hours or doubletime on holidays.

Paid Holidays
6 ~ Labor Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.
Vacation/personal days:
1 yr = 5 days
3 yrs = 10 days
10 yrs = 15 days
20 yrs = 20 days
Plus
Medical & Dental, /STD/LTD, Life Insurance, 401k, a great working environment, and the ability to grow in their career.
We also make up the diff in Pay for those called for Jury Duty and 3 days Bereavement Pay for loss of relative (mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, child & grandparents).

Ps. Most non-salaried employees only take a portion of their allowed time off and then make extra money as we pay it whether they take it or not.

Any of you guys have no compete contracts with your employees? We have a bunch of people that do janitorial services for apartment complexs in the area but our head girl just went to work as an inhouse cleaner for one of our main customers.

Non competes should be standard, all of our employee's signs one. I recommend your contract with your customers restrict them from hiring your employee's, although it's more relative with continued high frequency work. Recently one of our accounts stole our lead janitorial supervisor by offering a big pay bonus for starting. I was really mad about it until they went out of business 1 month later.

Hey Steve,
The reference may have been to my post (except our employees are not typically scheduled to work six days a week). Currently, we're in a rebuilding mode ... How does that old song go "She got the gold mine and I got the shaft."
Nevertheless, I understand his perspective and am not embarrassed with what we are able to do (from a benefits standpoint), I'm just responding to the post. The survival of the company is priority #1 - because if the company fails, 'paid holidays' will be the least of the worries around here.
Five of our full time employees have gone thru the good times and now the bad times. They trust me to do the right things and I won't violate their confidence. As the financial position of this company improves, we'll have the opportunity to do more. Our employees understand and that's what's important to me.
Finally, you don't have to wait for the government to legislate additional federal holidays (for you or your employees). A business owner can pay his/her starting employees 52 weeks of vacation time and make any day s/he choose a 'paid holiday.' It only takes money.
I'll wrap up by saying; it's my opinion that employees who kill their coworkers and supervisors have issues with roots significantly deeper than scheduling and employee benefits! Perhaps I'm wrong, but don't think so.
The great thing about our country is freedom! Yes, employees do 'burn out' and get tired of their jobs, but I'm certain you didn't mean to suggest that job burn-out, scheduling or benefits is justification for murder? In America, we are free to seek out a job that we choose and leave if we are not happy.
In most cases, the government we have, is the one we elected. It doesn't force people to 'deliver the mail' or make us clean carpet. We can even choose to do nothing and collect Welfare (living off the productivity of our neighbors for up to 5 years) or start our own business (if we don't want to work for someone else). Personally, I don't always agree with everything our legislature and courts do, but mostly we are a very fortunate people.

very well put randy and i should of stayed out of this post ( i dont even have employees, yet) but sometimes i just cant resist. thats a problem i have.
everything you said i agree with.just having been an employee for 20 or so years and living in another country does give me other perspectives.
sorry about your misfortune im about to go through the same thing.
ive changed jobs so many times in my life i cant count. i was always trying to make someone else happy and now that im doing what i know will make me happy well i think youll understand.
your also right i dont condone murder. sometimes, ok to often i over exaggerate things.
i thought t was refrering to your second sentence thats all.

I have no problem with people taking more time off, I just don't feel a need to pay for it :-)
Non- compete's don't work well in MI and I am personally against them. I believe if we pay well & treat our people right they stay. So far in 69 years I am not aware of one ever leaving and going to a competitor voluntarily. A few we have fired have though and that I am happy about.

The work Comp is a government required item which we were not talking about to my understanding. We all have to have that as well as pay SUTA, FUTA, SS, Medicare. The first 2 like work comp can be managed by keeping activity low (and shopping work comp), but soc sec and medicare are fixed %, with SS having an income cap. They will prob both be going up soon.

Steve, I guess I assumed we were talking about voluntary non-subjective benefits vs the gov mandated stuff that none of us has any choice in.
