I bank my PTO from tax season so along with normal vacation I end up with over 8 weeks (over 40 days, not including holidays)

@acamp I work in KSA for Toyota. Most people working here are expats thus the reason for giving 30 days annual leave.

I see in it sig you only used WTB and ninja notes, any advice for FAR. I'm sitting for my exam in 6 days and freaking out.

Thanks.

FAR: Know your journal entries backwards and forwards. I would come up with random scenarios and hand write the associated JEs.

ie: Become an Electronics Retailer. Book the entries to buy a TV on credit at wholesale prices (Inventory/AP); subsequently sell the TV at retail price on credit (Revenue/COGS/A/R/Inventory). Entries to receive cash customer, entries to pay back TV supplier.

ie: Take out a loan or even better sell bonds, book the entries when loan is initiated, book the subsequent periodic entries. Bonus points: sell bonds at a premium, go through the entries of amortizing the premium.

So for me, getting very comfortable with the inner-workings of entries helped a lot. That said, its been a while, probably some other areas that are important to walk through

Also, I did really well in intermediate/advanced accounting, so that probably helped me along.

I get 4 weeks of vacation and 6 paid holidays, but I was grandfathered in. New employees can only get a max of 3 weeks of vacation. We don't distinguish between sick and vacation days and they are use it or lose it, except for our California employees because of state law. It's a crap policy for new employees right now because they only start with 6 days of vacation/sick leave, but our new executives are trying to change that.

I receive 3.47 hours sick and 7.5 hours vacation every bi-weekly payday. I work 7.5 hours per day so that equals 12 sick and 26 vacation per year. Plus, we also receive two floating holidays to use whenever we want during the year.
