        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.

            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.

        Ultra short holiday. I get seven weeks paid, usually take four off in a row nowadays and spread the rest around Christmas or whenever I feel I need to rest up from work.

      Can confirm: I get 6 weeks paid vacation per year, and time spent on vacation is paid slightly more than actual work time.
