Why does it say 0 for the US? You have Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July and more? Are they unpaid days off?
- nemomarx 2mo agoI think they're technically not federally mandated. Businesses can be open on Christmas at their discretion and require workers to come in.
- tarxvf 2mo agoThe rest of the world seems to believe that if the government doesn't mandate it, it doesn't happen.
- victorbojica 2mo agowell, then what happens when the company decides to revoke your pto? where do you put that into the statistics?
- strictnein 2mo agoBecause it gets more attention if they ignore reality and treat a lack of a federal mandate as meaningful information.
- panzagl 2mo agoIt depends on the job and is not mandated to be paid, or even given off.
- WorldMaker 2mo agoDepends on the company. The US maintains no requirements, federal holidays are a suggestion, not a mandate. A few states inside the US upgrade federal holidays to state holidays to required paid time off. Most don't. In the US paid holidays are a corporate "tradition" more than a regulated common good. Even US federal employee holidays vary between agencies and branches of government.
- encrypted_bird 2mo agoExactly. I work in retail and we have ONE guaranteed day off each year: Christmas Day. (And a lot of retail employees don't have even this!) And until recently, I never got holiday pay either.
- krzyk 2mo agoHolidays are on top of vacations so they shouldn't be counted .
