I also get all the federal holidays, plus 10 sick days and 2 personal days a year. Additionally, we get vacation time:
1 - 5 years, 2 weeks
6 - 10 years, 3 weeks
11+ years, 4 weeks
In addition, Sr Vice Presidents and above get an additional week. I am in that group and have 7 years of service, so I get 4 weeks, most of which I never use and if it isn't used, it is lost.

I don't get paid overtime, but can get "comp time", which I then can't use for anything (so, what's the point?). In my departments, we have worked out an arrangement. If you work overtime, (and you aren't getting paid for it), come in late (or not at all) some other time. You still wind up getting screwed, but at least it is your own choice.

I usually use a lot of my sick time being out with my kids, taking them to the doctor, etc. With 3 of them, it is nearly impossible not to be out.
