1-2 weeks every 12-18 months is seen as a lot? No one tell them about europe ๐ถ
Isn't that like a short holiday?
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:
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
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.
