This may not come as a suprise to people from the US, but my sister (who lives and works near Zurich) says you have to pay everything yourself. Dentist, doctor, they just got a child and the father got one day off work if i got it correctly, and she only a couple of weeks. Still children stay at home untill they are 5 or something, you just have to pay someone privatly if you want to work.
The list goes on and on and on, so from this Bay Area like salery there is only something left if you're young, without children and healthy.
- herbst 10y agoThis is not exactly true. Doctor is paid by your health care but you usually pay the fees before you get them back (if you can, otherwise you just send it to them and done). Dentists are included in a health care plus plan which you only get when you are already healthy, its not expensive like $40+ a month. You are right that mothership holidays is not that long, in my experience most people just take a month or two off unpaid. If there is anything you can not afford there is a huge social infrastructure to help you out. There is no reason your kids should miss one something. Also dont forget that these salaries include 4 weeks and more paid holidays. All of these things are not included in american health care & social plans ether so i dont know why i even write that comment right now.
