Not plus unfortunately as they can include the bank holidays in your statutory 28 days

Bank holidays

Bank or public holidays do not have to be given as paid leave.

An employer can choose to include bank holidays as part of a worker’s statutory annual leave.

American here.

We get less than that. And we got a LOT of small business owners who are pissed that they have to honor that. And like the meme, showcase it like it was a PRIVILEGE for working there.

This is all dependent on where you live. Many states don’t have any requirements. If the state focuses on its at-will status, you can bet leave or possibly even breaks is not a guarantee.

Yeah, time off varies quite a bit my company, though most seem to give at least 2 weeks of leave, often with no distinction between sick leave and vacation. I get 3 weeks + 2 days (and 11 fixed holidays), and I'm about to get 4 weeks + 2 days, and that's considered "good" by American standards.

American here. Starting January 1st i will be getting 2 weeks paid vacation each year plus major holidays. That's more paid vacation time than i have ever had in 10 years of working.

My last job gave me so much PTO I never bothered learning how it accrued. I'd often take 3 Fridays off a month.

My dad was a VP in an engineering firm (1980s). He got two weeks a year, that's it.

"Paid vacation time" sounds like a idyllic fever dream to me. And you guessed it. I'm also American

Even when i had a union job, you wouldn't get paid vacation until after 1 year on the job, and it had to be taken during either the 4th of July shutdown, or the Christmas shut down. Then after 3 years you would get a second week paid vacation that you had to use during the other shutdown. After 5 years you got a third week that could be used whenever. This is why i always stand with French protestors because the moment you give corporations an inch they demand a mile.

so much envy. here in california, you get three sick days. that's it. no vacation, no holidays. i don't think i've ever had a job willingly give me more, though i know such jobs do exist.
