I mean, *gestures at the US*. There are no federal or state laws mandating paid vacations or holidays. That's entirely at the discretion of the company. There is no federal paid sick leave mandate. Some states have them. We have a federal right to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for qualified medical and family situations under a law called FMLA, the Family and Medical Leave Act. Even that has limitations - small businesses, highly compensated employees, and new employees are carved out. When you are hired, all of these are defined by the companies policies or what you can negotiate. If you have paid vacation time that accrues it'll be paid out if you quit; most companies don't like that, so they give you "unlimited time" on the approval of management. But because we have no statutory protection, your unlimited time could legally be "zero hours".
