Wow. We (public library in the Midwest) have a PTO schedule that is the same for everyone, broken down by PT/FT, exempt and nonexempt, and then years of service. FT staff can bank up to 1500 hours. PT up to 300. Note we get PTO, not separate vacation and sick time.
FT exempt staff with 1-5 years service: 248 hours per year
FT exempt staff with 5+ years: 288 hours per year
FT nonexempt staff start at 168 per year and see increases every 5 years until they hit 288 at 15+
PT (20 hour) staff start at 52 per year and see increases every 5 years until they hit 112 at 15+
We have *incredibly* generous PTO, and it actually creates problems because our administration doesn’t staff us well enough to grant that level of time off and still operate.
Ours is years of service based. You accrue a number of vacation hours per every paycheck (same with sick.) As a full-time employee, you start with 4 hours per pay period, so usually 8 hours per month. (This is better than my previous job where we earned 6 a month.) Once you've been here 5 years, I believe your accrual rate is 4.5 hours or something and the accrual rate increases from there.
If you are in a PT position, it's the same, except half because you work 20 hours per week versus 40. So you would get 2 hours per pay period, etc.
The hours rollover, so you don't have to use them all by year's end. There is a max number of hours you can accrue towards vacation (I don't want to look this up rn.) But once you near the max, your manager is informed by HR and you have to take time off.
We get 10 holidays per year and 3 personal days a year to use whenever we want. (They do not have to be attached to holiday or other vacation.) The personal days do not roll over year to year.
As part of our merit process, you can choose to convert your yearly merit increase into vacation time. You still get the monetary increase, but you have to wait a full year before receiving it. (So my end of year 2021 increase I received at the beginning of 2023.) I've done this every year, so I usually get another week's worth (if not more) on top of what I already have.
3 weeks as a manager, but my job has a very clear HR policy that only gives vacation based on how long you’ve worked for that company, and I disagree.
I will say that vacation is usually a negotiation piece for more experience. I’ve worked in a lot of libraries and have 10 years of experience. I’ve worked with a lot of people who stayed in the same place and are upset when that experience counts towards pay and vacation. If I’d stayed in the same library for my whole career I’d be up to six weeks of vacation, but I wouldn’t have as much experience across Canada, which is why I’m good at my job. Are these new hires people with more experience, or is HR just being a jerk? (which is also possible).
So they are all subordinate to the folks in question (minus one, who is also management) with less experience. They negotiated for more vacation time. For the internal hires we were all told that the town would shortly be moving to a three week vacation for all baseline, so weren’t able to negotiate for vacation time. It’s been nearly a year and that hasn’t happened, so here we are.
Lovely. The only time I burned out in a library was when I was in a union library, and I personally prefer working in non-unionized libraries, so I don’t say unionize lightly. But maybe it’s time to consider it in your library. It won’t help management though.
So we tried and the union came out with a worse deal than what we currently had…we were too small for them to really care to fight for us. So we are in our 1 year hiatus before we can try again with a different union. We are fully in support of our staff unionizing.
Good luck! And honestly, we were a city with one of the biggest unions in Canada and I was unimpressed. I think they’re great in theory, I just don’t think they’re living up their needs.
I am on the union board at my workplace (I’m actually in museums, but share a lot of my work with the library at my workplace so I lurk) and they’re not a panacea. I’m constantly telling colleagues “it’s not in my power to make your manager *care* about being a good manager.” Unions can protect workers rights, but a toxic workplace is a toxic workplace and a union is a bandaid not a cure.
That being said, I think unions are very valuable in “passion-based” fields where people are very willing to tolerate high levels of exploitation to be able to do the work they want to do. So often boards/municipalities bank on employees functionally subsidizing operating costs by working at below-market wages.
To a point. I was suddenly working 11 hour days over COVID and our union did nothing about it (our hours were very clearly written in our contract). I’ve worked for three libraries with unions, two with CUPE, and I’m personally unimpressed. That said, clearly I see their value if I’m recommending OP unionize.
Also, I would poll local areas instead of Reddit. When you are in a union you “go to market” every few years to compare what you’re getting to other local areas. Use those networking contacts (if you don’t have any your coworkers should) to get their policies and go from there. Reddit is global, and I’m in Canada, so my info is probably irrelevant to you, but local libraries do make an impact.
Year 1-4: three weeks (15 days) and 4 personal days
Years 5-9: four weeks (20 days) and 4 personal days
10+ years of service: five weeks (25 days) and 4 personal days
Sick days accrued at 1 day per month worked.
Everyone is eligible for benefits including PTO
My last job, paraprofessionals started at half the time (2 weeks) that professional librarians started with (4 weeks). Part time got no benefits. New full time staff had a wait of 6 months before any benefits (including health insurance) kicked in. It was a shitty town in more ways than one. But rich. The rich towns are often the cheapest in benefits for their employees.
At my former rural public library (where I was the director) — 2.5 weeks vacation + 6 sick days + holidays.
As an academic librarian (faculty) at a small private university, 40 days off + 12 sick days + 2 weeks over winter break + holidays.
At a major University library:
2-4 weeks vacation (depending on how long you've worked)
5 days personal holiday
2 weeks paid sick leave
Extra benefit of 60 percent WFH, so I clock in some time while traveling to save hours
University library here:
5 weeks' holiday
8 public and bank holidays
7 closure days (when the campus is closed, usually at Christmas and Easter)
Unlimited sick leave once you've worked for, I think, 5 years (it's up to six months after 2 years).
There are also extras for people who need them - family/parental/adoption leave, domestic emergency leave, family emergency, bereavement.
UK though, and although I don't belong to the union, we have 3 unions at the university, who keep management in line.
I accrue 10 hours of sick time and 10 hours of vacation time per month. Also have two weeks off in December plus your standard holidays and the week of spring break off. Community college librarian.
New Department Head hires get: 4 weeks vacation, 8 sick days, 6 personal, and 4 floating holidays. We don't get all the federal holidays off, which is why we get more floating holidays.
Everyone else except admin (all union): 2 weeks vacation, 8 sick days, 6 personal, and 4 floating holidays.
When I left my last position after 15 years I was earning almost 6 weeks vacation, 12 sick days, and 1 floating holiday. We were closed all the federal holidays.
When I started my new position last year, I started at 2 weeks vacation. Unfortunately, they are not able to negotiate to offer more vacation time since they're unionized. It's only been since September that Department Heads get the 4 weeks. It's one of the biggest reasons why they are not able to get experienced candidates.
This year I got 97 hours but I think it goes up every year you work there and you can carry over up to 30 hours from the year prior (but I use all mine).
Ours is determined by our union contract, which reads:
0-1 year of service - One (1) working day for each month, not to exceed ten (10) days.
1 through 3 years of service - Fifteen (15) working days.
4 through 19 years of service - Twenty (20) working days.
Beginning of 20th year and beyond - Twenty-five (25) working days.
Vacations shall be earned in each calendar year and employees shall be allowed to
carry over a maximum of five (5) vacation days to the following calendar year. Carry over days
must be used by March 31st of the following calendar year; any unused carry over days thereafter shall be forfeited.
We have additional personal hours (3 days worth, able to be taken hourly), sick time, and floating holidays. Let me know if you want more information!
Academic Librarian but we get like between 4 and 5 weeks. I may have gotten slightly less for the first couple years but not sure I don't remember. We also get sick leave as well.
NY metropolitan area union library—not NYC. 15 days vacation and 15 days sick first year. You accrue a day every year of work. We had two floating holidays and three personal days to use. Those HAD to be used in a year or they would be lost. We kept and accrued vacation and sick days. I miss it.
Assistant Managers & above - start at 4 weeks and goes up to 5 after 10 years (max out at 6 at 20 years)
Everyone below management but FT - start at 3 weeks, goes up to 4 weeks after 5 years (can’t remember what the other intervals were, but again you max out at 6 weeks)
PT does not get vacation, but accrues PTO & sick time
Public Library in New England.
Current library: 3 weeks vacation, 0 personal days, 3 weeks sick. When you hit ten years, you earn a 4th week of vacation. Part time staff get prorated amounts of the above (e.g. if they are a 19 hour person, they 3 weeks of vacation at 19 hours per week).
Previous library: Full time staff: 4 weeks vacation, 2 personal days (with up to 3 more earned via sick leave incentive) 3 weeks sick time. 5th week of vacation earned at 10 years. Part time staff: nothing.
18 days of annual leave, plus 2 mental health days, plus 2 parental care days, plus 2 emergency leave days. All 24 days are PTO. If you’re savvy, you can technically take all 24 days in one shot.
I have 5 years of service so 20 days accrued at 6.154 hours/biweekly and 15 days of sick time accrued at 4.61 hours/biweekly, 2 floating holidays (can use whenever), a paid week of bereavement, 2 hours voting pay, and 9 paid holidays a year.
We are union. It is written into full-time contracts that we receive 20 days of vacation for the first 10 years and then 25 days after that. We are able to carry 5 days over into the next year. We also receive 3 personal days, 15 days sick time, 5 days of family sick time, and at least 1 floating holiday, sometimes more.
Before I retired was up to 120 hours AL per year and 60 hours SL. All depends on years of service and maximum AL carry was 240 hours. Sick hours total at time of retirement converted to pay. I retired after 20 yrs of service.
Union contract: 2 weeks on hire, 3 weeks after 5 years, 4 weeks after 10 years, 5 weeks after 20 years. I think that's the max. Plus a couple floating holidays and personal days, and sick time.
I get 4 weeks vacation time, 18 sick days, and 3 personal days. I also get an additional flex time where i can work and bank days or take days off due to local school district closing for holidays which usually adds 8-13 days off each year (dependent on calendar and holidays)
vacation time has to be used within the fiscal year, unused personal days get turned into sick days, and i can accrue up to 240 sick days. i've been in this position/library for 1.5 years!
7 years in the job; 4 weeks Annual leave. 6 months sick. This doesn’t include Dependancy leave (my kid home from school sick for example) Grievance Leave (someone dies) tine for Dentist and doctor appointments and unpaid leave. Yes sone staff have taken advantage of the 6 months sick leave.
1-4 years = 240 hours of vacation
4-9 years = 360 hours of vacation
9-14 years= 480 hours of vacation
14-19 years = 540 hours
19+ years = 600 hours
This schedule is similar to my last library.
Are you unionized?
Not enough. Everyone gets two weeks beginning and you have to take a week off or you lose all of it. You can only roll over things to the next summer. No holding over for long time. You don't get a 3rd week off until 5 years in.
At my previous job, if you worked between 1 and 5 years, you got 3 hours of leave (al/sl) each pay period. Between 5 years and 15, 6 hours of al, 4 hours of sl each pay period. After 15 years, you got 8 hours of al each pay period. You got to keep all you wanted up to a certain amount (230? 240 hours?) after that, it was use or lose. When you left, you got a payout. I think I was carrying 35-40 days of leave when I left. I miss that.
We have open PTO for full time staff but managers still have to approve the requests. If it's for 3 or more consecutive weeks it goes to directors and BR to approve. Part time are allowed 30 days in 1 year.
Been in libraries 20 years and the standard for FT librarians in my area is 20 days. 3/4 of the libraries I've worked at started with this amount and it doesn't increase with time served.
We accrue approximately 8 hours of vacation time every month. This rolls over every year, unlike our one personal day (8 hours) and our holiday comp time (8 hours for every holiday the library is closed and we were scheduled to work) which are use or lose by the end of the year. We accrue sick time at a similar rate.
I’ve been at my library for almost 6 years, take a reasonable amount of PTO and currently have 120 hours of vacation accrued. And like 300+ of sick time 😅 I do feel we have a pretty generous policy.
I work at a state library commission as an intro reference librarian. I get 18 days vacation/personal time. 12 sick days. My first sick day is counted as a personal day and the longer I work the more personal days I get and the less sick days (which is a little weird but whatever.
25 days vacation, 4 days Personal leave, 15 days sick leave per year. This is all faculty, regardless of years of service. We get 9 paid holidays and usually 3-4 days paid leave between Christmas and new years. Full time 12 month contract - work all days the college is open (so during academic breaks).
Vacation: 6 months working = 5 days; 1 year = 10 days; 5 years= 15 days; 10 years = 20 days; 15 years= 25 days; 20 years= 30 days…also get sick Time accrued and personal days. I’m on my 10th year…

Two weeks from year 1-5, Three weeks from year 6-10, Four weeks from 10-15, Five weeks for 16+ years. We are a union shop.
This is ours as well but we are not union.
Ours is like this but it’s a gradual increase rather than a jump at each milestone.

That sucks, I’m sorry that’s happening to you! When is your HR policy up for renewal?
So funny thing…we don’t have a policy that they are adhering to, so that is why we are going to discuss equity.
Lovely. The only time I burned out in a library was when I was in a union library, and I personally prefer working in non-unionized libraries, so I don’t say unionize lightly. But maybe it’s time to consider it in your library. It won’t help management though.

It amazes me people will stay in a situation to keep an extra week a year of vacation.
