Vaction Question
Is it really a vacation if you're not getting paid during your time off?

Re: Vaction Question
do you mean like your company closes for the holdays and you do not get paid? Or you are taking time off that is unpaid?

Re: Vaction Question
Right now since I dont have a mortgage or pay a set rent, I would say yes.
However, in any other situation I would be too worried to truly enjoy myself so no!
But I would try and make the best of it!

Re: Vaction Question
I'm talking about a person I know. She keeps bragging about being on vacation, even though her employer is not paying for this time off. Basically, she works in a school and the school is closed. She isn't a full-time employee and only gets paid for the time she works.

Re: Vaction Question
hmmm...in that situation - I think that it is a vacation. It's a break from going to work...the kids have off...don't get paid...but call it a vacation.
It's nice to not work - paid or unpaid.

No, that's "Time off without pay".
That's the same as saying I have a vacation every weekend.....

Re: Vaction Question

If she would be working if the school is open then yes I consider it a vacation.

Re: Vaction Question
technically, yes, imo, it's time away from work. but if you're not getting paid for it, then its stressful (at least it would be for me) and then its definately not a holiday!!!!

Re: Vaction Question
I think it is. Unfortunately nowadays many of us don't have access to a lot of paid days off. I am home now on maternity leave and I definitely look at it as "vacation" from work, however, it is frustrating that I am not going to get paid after a certain amount of time.
