New contract

[skyee]

Hi everyone,
I recently redid my contract and I added 6 personal/sick days paid per year- but now I feel kind of quilty, I haven't had to hand it out yet but curious if any of you have
paid vacation or personal/sick paid days!

thanks

I have 5 paid personal days, no one complained.

I have 7 paid personal days and 10 paid vacation days...no complaints here, but they all started with that when they signed on with me(well I increased the personal days from 5 to 7 last year, but that was a small increase). I guess it depends what the norm is in your area more than anything.

I get 10 paid sick days, 10 paid personal days and 2 weeks vacation paid. No one has questioned it.

I already have 10 paid vacation days but never had personal/sick days, as they never paid if I took a day off.
thanks ladies for your input

I also have 3 weeks paid vacation and 5 paid sick days No one has ever said anything negative about it.

What area are you guys in if you dont mind me asking? Just wondering because I have no sick days and no holidays so I am wondering if I should change this when I update my contract to.

Thank you

As its not the norm in my area, I do not charge for personal days or vacation. However, to compensate this I did do a rate increase in january for all new clients. this worked out beneficially for me as i am losing 3 dck in september to kindergarten so all new clients will be at higher rate.

I am in Alberta, just north of Calgary. I have 10 paid vacation days and 4 paid personal days in the calendar year. I think that is normal, and have not had anyone question it.
From what I have gathered in my area, you can charge the higher end of the fee scale if you do not get paid for vacation days, etc. I am right in the middle of the fee scale, and that is because I account for the fact that I will have paid days off.
