In my home country a legal minimum is 4 weeks a year, so 1-2 weeks is half or a quarter of a holiday if you take it at once :3

Or if you split it into 2 parts you get 2 weeks off every 6 months instead of 12-18

In my US state state employees get:

  • about 10 or 11 holidays, can't remember
  • two weeks of sick leave that accumulates if you don't use it
  • a week (?) vacation that increases over time to max out at 3 weeks vac at 15 years (does max out, is use or lose it and using is encouraged)

Private employers have NO legal requirement to offer any time off.

The disconnect between public and private benefits requirements are ridiculous.

I think we have 15 holidays we get a day off for, a month of paid vacation time from the start, aaaand infinite sick leave :3.. and maternity and paternity leave, plus unpaid time off if you want that for some reason :p

Federal is a little better, 10-11 holidays, and 30 days vacation, plus 2 weeks of pure sick leave. But you are not encouraged to take holidays.

We get 4 weeks annual leave plus 2 weeks of public holidays
