I have 2 weeks paid vacation, 5 paid sick days, and paid christmas closure between Dec 24 and Jan 1, and also 2 professional development days to cover the time I take to do courses, workshops etc. I list those like that in my daycare handbook but list them as paid personal days in my contract because I think if you word it paid personal days its allowed, but not if you say vacation days. Its all about wording it correctly.
