I don't take any paid time off. My policy is if I am off for any reason, you don't pay and if you are off for any reason, you always pay. I have been asked in the past, if they get a free week off for vacation and I've said no. How is that beneficial to me. I'm still here working. It kind of works the other way in my mind. They have to pay me when I'm not available, and have to pay additional for either someone else to provide care or take time off work and potentially lose income if they have crappy working benefits. I think 1 week is a fair amount in lieu of a rate increase, but any more than that I am wairy.
