What is the benchmark for vacation time? I am a chemical technician with 2 years of experience, and roughly 60K a year. I currently have 2 weeks (10 days) for the year. I heard that new people who were just hired are receiving 3 weeks (15 days), I would like to discuss with HR on how I can get more days. What is the best way to approach that?

Transparently. Ask your manager for a 1:1 and talk about your contributions in the 2 years you've been there. Use that as justification for wanting more PTO. You should have a good shot at getting it approved if new hires are starting at 15 days.

Yes

We have unlimited pto

Things like that will happen, they'll offer new people something good as a way of attracting new talent. Meet with your manager and make the case that you've grown in the job and you think you deserve more PTO. If new people are getting it that's a point in your favor, but don't make that the primary focus, make it about your own good work and how that should be rewarded.

You can always just set up a meeting and ask. They might say no, but they might say yes. Let them know you would like to negotiate your compensation in the form of PTO to better align with new hires.

20 within 2-5 years of working. It sounds like a lot but most people don't take it until they get sick or a family member has an emergency. 1 month to handle something like cancer or a death of a spouse is nothing. So make sure they have progressive leave policies not just FMLA or STD. Too many rules and legal issues whereas PTO is straight forward.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
