finds exempt employees are typically granted 9.2 vacation
days while those who are not exempt get 8.2 days.
A news release from
Compdata Surveys, a Kansas City-based
compensation and benefits data provider, said exempt
workers get an average 10.9 days after their first year.
Those with five to nine years of service earn 14.8
days.
In addition to vacation time, the news
release said, exempt and non-exempt employees get three
personal days and nine holidays a year.
The survey found 71.9% of companies allow
carryover of vacation days, and 89.8% place a limit on
the number of days that can be carried over. The maximum

compared to 21.1 for non-exempt.
