If you give/get vacation time do you specify it in weeks or days??

I am trying to come up with the way it is most fair to ALL families and myself, as I'm not sure my current policy is. I have that families get free days equal to their contracted week - so a 3 day a week family gets 3 vac. days, a full timer gets their full 5 days. They can split them up or use them as a full week. I however get 5 days - but is this fair to the 3 day a week family that has to pay for 1 "week" plus 2 more days? I do sometimes need to take my time in days so I want that option.

I'm dealing with this now as I take a few days for summer and parents are starting to balk because I took a week earlier in the year (even though they signed the contracts long ago). I know they must deal with it, but going forward I'm wondering if I should change it.
