Thanks, it hasn't come easy, that's for sure. I've definitely paid my dues.
> >the company procedure is anyone on salary must make up or take vacation for any absence more than 4 hours.
I can not believe this!!!!!!! No way! Thats crazy! Don't you have sick pay in the states?Some jobs provide sick pay, but not most. Usually when you first start a job, you get 5-10 days vacation that you can't use until you've been there a year. The way my current job works, you earn about one day every month you work that you can use right away for vacation or sick days (I think, I'm still a little confused about the sick days), plus we get about 12 holidays. Sounds like yall got it much better over there! But where I am is better than any other place I've been. Especially the fact that I can come in whenever I want and not get penalized for being late. That was something that plagued me in my last jobs because I had a tendency to be 5-10 minutes late. Yeah, I'm loving this job.
