I had my third interview today. She was lovely, but was clearly taken aback when I said I take up to 4 weeks (unpaid) holiday. I told her I close for two weeks at Christmas and she winced... she then asked if she had to pay when she goes on vacation, and I said yes, she pays to hold the spot. I thought this was probably the norm, but I'm second guessing myself. Do the rest of you take less than 4 weeks a year? Do you let parents take vacation outside those four weeks and not have to pay you?
Thanks!
