I wonder what that number is anywhere else in the world. Most countries have a legal minimum paid time off higher than that (the USA is the exception when compared to the vast majority of countries, rich or poor), but most companies give a bit more than the minimum in our field, so what I'm wondering is whether the difference is large enough that rounding it up doesn't make sense.
Personally I've got 6 paid weeks off every year (their default, I didn't negotiate that number) plus public holidays (iirc that adds up to another two weeks but maybe it's just one) with both my past and previous employer which were in different western European countries, but I don't know if that's average.
- joe5150 6y agoI could be wrong, but I think 50 hours is the result of rounding down from 52, not the result of subtracting two weeks of unpaid vacation. Most people who work a full time hourly job in the US get paid for every week of the year if they only use paid time off.
