Important to know Europe doesn't calculate time offs like the US does. In the US, if you take 4 weeks off, it's 20 days PTO. In Europe it's 28-30.

- matthews2 4y agoWhich countries do it like this? At least at where I've worked in the UK, only the days where you would've normally been at work are counted.
- jamesrr39 4y agoIn Sweden and Denmark as well, it would be calculated as 20 days assuming a standard Monday to Friday office hours job. I'm also curious to know where the parent poster got the 28-30 days calculation from.
- tomduncalf 4y agoAgreed, I have never heard of this, I’m pretty sure it would not be legal in the UK
- sokoloff 4y agoI’ve managed team members in many European countries; we only count days you’d otherwise work. (We do have one every 5 year sabbatical program that is “4 weeks, and if there was a company holiday in that stretch, you don’t get an extra day”, but otherwise, taking 4 M-F stretches is 4x5 = 20 days of PTO.

- cr1895 4y agoYou're wrong for the case of the Netherlands and Belgium.
