My cousin works for the Czech government in Prague. I was asking her how she could come over for two weeks for Christmas. She said she gets four weeks paid
vacation every year. And she has only worked there for three years.

That's the norm in most European countries. |

We get 5 weeks of paid vaction every year no matter the job or the amount of time you've worked there. It's just the law, everybody gets 5 weeks of
paid holidays and 35/40 hour weeks.
I honestly don't know how americans do it sometimes working insane hours, having to have 2 or 3 jobs with no guaranteed paid weeks of holiday. |

I get 5 weeks. I've been at my job 6 months. I work crazy hours the weeks I'm there so it kind of helps average out to 40 hours weeks.

I wish. I only get 2 weeks of vacation time and 40 hours/year of sick time. When I left my old company I was at 4 or 5 weeks which isn't common in the US!

I get 4 weeks, too. I'm in California.
 It was 3 weeks until I hit my 3 year mark.

I've worked at the same company for 10 years and I still only get one week's paid vacation every year.

I get 5 weeks plus whatever holidays there are. I don't ever take time off though. I have almost 200 hours of vacation right now.

My cousin said her vacation days do not accumulate. It's use it or lose it.
I don't know how much vacation my sister gets. But I know she gets "research/study leave". Where she gets paid to go places for conferences and stuff. |

I get 20 days and 2 personal days. But it's the whole use it or lose it thing - I'm losing 3 vacation days and both personal days this year. I need to
make sure to use them all next year.

ours is so convoluted. I get 10 vacation days, 7 personal days, and 2 floating holidays. we can carry over up to 5 vac days, which start over on our
anniversary date. unused personal days can be paid at half time, but they start over Jan 1st. I'm not quite sure of the point of the floating holidays,
though I think they were added when we merged with another office that gets more holidays. Soooo confusing.

I had 9 weeks paid vacation until recently when I left the company. We got a week for every year we were there. It was grand.
Now, I get 2 for the first three years. Then, it will go up to 3 weeks and so on each year. But, they stop at 6 weeks. |

I live in NYC and I get 4 paid weeks vacation (20 days) and I work for a non-profit.
Once I hit 4 years (which will be in February), I'll get 22 days.
The union workers get anywhere between 3 and 6 weeks. |

I get 2 next year and I've been there less than a year plus 6 days for Christmas, 1/2 a day for NYE plus NY day and all holidays off. It's nice
