EY folks wanted to ask about the vacation policy. You get 15 days + 3 personal days. Can you take any 3 days off? Also on an average how many "casual" sick days do people take? What's acceptable?

Supposed to burn the 3 personal days before vacation to keep the vacation time. I think there's a new limit on sick days. Took my first one last week.

The personal days work just like vacation days. We get 10 days of sick now. Managers and above get 22 vacation + 3 personal.

Also, 10 sick days is for "family care" you, your wife, your kids or even if your pet or friend is sick and you need to spend time helping them are all reasons to take this time.

Upside of new policy is that it is now explicitly allowed for taking care of family. Down side is we now have a limit vs the "unlimited" sick time we used to have.

We you have no work, sick time is always unlimited

@E1 - wrong. Personal/sick time are separate. Do not have to use one before the other.

E4 - it's recommended to take personal days before vaca bc personal days expire sooner than vacation days.

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti
