[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1111829, member: 211362"] I also have the enforced 2 weeks minimum recreation leave per year. I'm also questioned why I'm not taking more breaks. I probably should be doing that too because I was forced to reduce my working hours to part time because of health. So I did plan to take a break every 6 months, although usually I wind up taking a break every 12 months. I prefer a minimum of 3 weeks though. I find 2 weeks is too short of a break for me as I take the first week to wind down, then the 2nd week I'm starting to feel I'm on holiday, then suddenly the next week I'm back at work. Whereas my theory with 3 weeks is obviously wind down the first week, the second week I'm feeling relaxed, the third week I'm prepping myself to get back to work again. I do have about 136 days of leave for recreation and long service available to me right now. I'm just waiting for my boss to have a talk to me as I haven't been on leave since September last year. I haven't taken a long break for a while either. Because I'm subject to regular medical assessments which involve being assessed by the work doctor and my doctor and they both look at what leave I'm taking too. That was one of the questions I got asked last assessment... why haven't you taken a decent amount of leave this year? My situation is obviously different to yours. If you like what you're doing, then keep at it. Although if I had my time again after 26 years in the workforce I'd take more leave than I have done. [/QUOTE]
