How many weeks off are you guys given? 4 weeks sounds like quite a lot (it's a whole month!)

- cynix 9y agoAustralian here, 4 weeks is the legal minimum. At my work place it starts out at 4 weeks and goes up to 6 weeks after 4 years of full time employment.
- dilap 9y agough, america really needs to copy this
- syshum 9y agowhy.. If you want 4 weeks find a company that offers it. Many of them do. My company does and I would prefer they just pay me.
- razorunreal 9y agoHave you asked them if they can just pay it out? It might mess with their budgeting slightly, but they'd be paying the same per hour worked so likely not be a big deal.
- dilap 9y agoit's more i wish we had a culture of encouraging people to take more time off, where it was normal/expected. (actually, i think the ideal way to work for me might be something like "insane hours for 3 months, no work for 3 months". or maybe every two weeks. or something.) i just think there's a strong expectation/cultural momentum to be working all the time, more than is healthy. you can swim against it, but you're still swimming against it.
- maxerickson 9y agoBut only for full time jobs right, screw the tens of millions of people that work hourly and are managed to be legally part time. (What I mean is, vacation time for full time white collar jobs probably isn't the first thing we need to address in our labor laws)
- dilap 9y agovery reasonable
- esnard 9y ago5 weeks is the legal minimum in France.
- criddell 9y agoDoes that count national holidays as well? I get three weeks of paid vacation, but I also 10 national holidays (two for Thanksgiving, two for Christmas, 4th of July, etc..).
- Oletros 9y agoIn Spain the minimum is 30 natural days or 22 work days. Plus 14 national holidays
- stuaxo 9y agoUK is 28 days paid leave (includes public holidays). ...although, under the current government many employers have moved workers to be contractors on "zero hours contracts", so you're uber driver, food delivery guy, amazon packing guy etc have basically none of these rights. On the other hand, if you are software dev you are either employed and have the 28 days - or you are a contractor, less rights but paid more than the permies. Some IT contractors line up something before their current one ends, or there will be a gap while you find something.
