After how many years of service should a part-time employee get 3 weeks vacation?

I am an employer with a part-time office assistant who recently asked for a third week of vacation. One week = 24 hours. After 5 years she was given a second week by a former partner of mine. She is now approaching 9 years, should she get a third week? I also give her 6 paid holidays (7 for full-time workers -- two days at Thanksgiving vs one day).

At all the companies I've worked at, part-time employees only get paid holidays, and don't get any other paid time off.

But it's totally up to you. It would certainly make her feel more appreciated if you gave her a third week's paid vacation. If she does a good job and you want to keep her, a check for one additional part-time week (24 hours in her case) each year would seem to me like a very good investment in employee good-will.

I think you've made an investment in the most important area of your company - the human resources dept. You have a right to feel very good about your decision. Report It

gosh give her the time off. why you even wondering after 9 years?
