Re: [iPad] Re: Electric and Hybrid Car vs. pure Gas cars: pros, cons and $$$

 

The last two companies I have worked for have taken sick days away and rolled them into what was called vacation days and is now one account, PTO, Paid Time Off. I hate being sick because I feel as though I am using my vacation days. I now earn 5 weeks PTO after working for the same company for four years.

The first company that did this, was giving two weeks vacation, 5 days sick leave. When they rolled it into one leave about, they only gave us 14 days. They took away one of the sick days. The personality of the owner.

Minimum wage is decided by states here and lowest is $5.15, Wyoming, and most states use $7.35, some higher.
Office worker with no qualifications might be a bit more, maybe not.
There are a lot of internships with no pay at all and companies go from free intern to free intern. The poor interns hope for a job at the end of the free period, but that's not happening much any more.
Teachers here earn about $35,000 to start and people can buy a nice house for $150,000 in Florida, gas about $3.50 a U.S. gallon. Can buy a small new car for $17,000. Monthly electric here $280 a month, TV/Internet/home phone $170 a month.
Sick days depend on companies. Some get them, some don't.
Vacation starts at one week, then two weeks. Again. Florida.
Maybe half a dozen public holidays.

Ok, lets test.

The minimum legal adult wage here is $13-75 per hour.

An office worker with no qualifications might get $16 per hour

I think the average wage here is $50000 pa which is $24 per hour

We get 5 sick days (although I get 10 ) and we get 4 weeks holiday, not including public holidays, of which there are 11 per year
