Curious – What are your scheduled holidays off and do you charge for them?

I chose, to be closed on

Christmas
New Years Day
Thanksgiving
Day after Thanksgiving
4th of July

These holidays I do not charge the client. However all other holidays I am open I charge for.

What do you all do?

I don't get any paid sick days nor vacation time. I don't charge for my vacation time either. However...I'm thinking of adding 5 paid sick days per year when I'm ready to revise my contract.

Also, I take up to two weeks of paid vacation

No sick days. If I close unexpectedly parents are not required to pay. The parents can take vacation and do not have to pay as long as they give me the required notice.
