Having worked in the GG industry since 2007 and for several different companies, I will answer the question about time off ...... NO, you do NOT get any paid time off. If you want a day off, you pay for your own relief. If you want multiple days off, you either find and pay for your own relief or they will replace you and then you get back in the rotation for another gate. I know a few GGs that have been on the same gate for 3 or 4 years and the ONLY time off they have had is when they paid for their own relief. Good luck if you are trying to get into the industry, as it is a dog eat dog job and you are on your own. Is it worth it, to some yes, but to many no, they last a few days or weeks and then move on. We are still current licensed guards with one company, but are taking time off for health reasons.
