Our provider puts out an annual calendar with 6.2 weeks of scheduled paid time off. She also wants unlimited paid sick days, but offered to cap sick days at an additional 3 full weeks. That's 9.2 weeks of PTO per year.
Yes, providers deserve a PTO benefit, but this seems excessive.
Looking for some feedback about the specific time requested.
Thanks!

For some it IS excessive
For others it IS NOT excessive
If she is able to get and keep clients, she's entitled to take as much or as little PTO as she wants.
It's irrelevant as to whether anyone thinks it is or isn't excessive.
If YOU think it's excessive, find another provider.
If you don't think it's excessive then there is no issue.
As you can tell this is a subject that is literally beat to death and there is no one size fits all.
Only what works for each family and each business owner.
I think it's excessive that some of the convenience stores here charge almost double what Walmart charges for milk.
Naturally I buy milk at Walmart.
