Yearly vacation time

[CHHAS]

To all you people who work, how much vacation time do you get per year ?

From what I've discovered this vary a lot around the world, could be interesting to see.

To get the ball rolling, I have 6 weeks + 5 extra days for a total of 7 weeks.

Julie gets 4 weeks plus 5 personal days for a total of 5 weeks, but she can't take the personal days contiguously unless there's an emergency or something.

But that's REALLY rare here in the USA. Pharmaceutical companies offer outstanding benefits though... her last job had 4+5 as well.

I wish I worked in Denmark all of a sudden. I'd have to brush up on my Danish first, though.

Nah, most of Europe is super-relaxed. Short workdays, short workweeks, restrictions on overtime...

I get roughly 2 weeks, and with this job I could use more like 2 months!!

In theory about three months, in practice however, only about 2-4 weeks...

Well I got the max 4 weeks after 7 yrs service with my company, and 4 sick days. If you don't use the sick days you lose them.

5 weeks plus bank holidays of course (remember in the US you get more (i think...))

oh and the odd sicky for a hangover

30 days, adding free weekends that's 6 weeks overall, plus a couple of free days for administrative stuff, like when you're moving or become a father ...

If I schedule it properly around all national holidays (x-mas, new year. easter etc.), I even can get more than that.

And thank god for that! (As you put it that way I find it amusing that you americans are so much larger on the horisontal-axis than us!)

I think the standard here in Sweden is more or less 5 weeks plus some days.
