Oh that's good. Idk if that's even law here

 

[Butters]

my last job i got 40 hours of sick pay a year I believe and if you ran out of the 40 hours and called in you got a write up.

 

[Chris]

Oh that's good. Idk if that's even law here

the kicker is if you work 39 hours instead of 40 every week you can be part time

 

[Butters]

40 hours a year for being sick(random call ins not like short term disability) was pretty generous I thought

 

[Canadian Dragon]

That's 5 days

 

[Deezy]

Sounds like ditch diggers get treated better than whatever desk job or retail shit yall talking.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

How many vacat u get on top.of that

 

[Chris]

5 days is probably like a minimum for Texas bc that's what my old job offered

 

[Chris]

I believe we did 5 vacation days after the 1st year and 10 after the second

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Fwiw I don't have any sick days but we have oersonal m vacation days we just use those n don't differentiate. I realize that's not really standard tho

 

[Butters]

depends on the job, at my last job I got 3 weeks vacation upon hire which is 120 hours.

 

[Butters]

most jobs are like 1 week start tho

 

[Butters]

I think my current job is 0 I just accumlate vacation time for how many hours I work so it depends.

4 months of trades can get you 6 months of EI in Canada........paid.
