An equal comparison would be:
Option 1: 5.25 per day at the current weeks(assuming maxed) =183.75hrs of vacation.
Option 2: 7 weeks at 3.75 per day=183.75
How would those two options differ? --> My opinion
5 weeks you could pick-up more time in vacation months(because less time is blocked off on your schedule). Which means, some folks would pick-up more to make more.
7 weeks means you can't pick up as much--> Less productivity increased staffing requirement(relative to option 1).
Bottom Line- Vacation needs to be increased some-how.
I think there are a lot of people that would like Option 1, but my argument is it is more productive. Additionally, I think it would give more flexibility to people that can't hold certain weeks of vacation, because you could work your schedule based on the higher value.
