Hi...
Some of the houseparents at our facility were asked to back a request for more vacation time with some research. Would any of you be willing to post or email your company vacation benefits. We will also have to have the name of your facility for our proposal. So far I have only gotten the info. from Boystown. Thanks for any help.

I work for Grace Children's Home in Henderson, Nebraska. We work 6 days on, 3 days off. The vacation policy is 2 weeks (10 days) a year up to 2 years of employment. After 2 years, we get 3 weeks (15 days) a year. Hope that's helpful.

Palmer Home for Children.

Vacation: 10 Days 1-3 Years, 15 days 4-9 years, 20 days 10 or more years.

9 Holidays and personal days each calender year

12 sick days a year, 4 of which can be used for family sick leave. However, unless you have a real emergency their is nobody to cover your cottage, so sick days are pointless.

29 days on and 6 days off schedule, that is a killer. Max|Vacation Time...|65.170.38.10|yes|yes|1039900025|You know Plumcrazy, we are union at MHS. We use collective barganing. If you can even informally organize, it helps to sing the same or a similar song as a worker group.

40-54 Hour Work Week. 2 days off a week

Overtime over 40 hours a week or 8 hours a day (time and a half)

Double Time over 48 hours a week double time after 10 hours a day

21 Personal days a year years 1-3 (Sick or Vacation time)

All Federal or State Mandated Holidays off or Double Time if worked. 2 Optional Days chosen based on Personal Beliefs.


Pretty Common in the Thousands of Group Homes throughout California.

What seems to vary is how long you have to be employed for the benefits to kick in. 30 days to 6 months seems common
