[quote:Anonymous Coward 25888883:MV8yMDk2MjY2XzM1MzA0MDU4XzlDMzZBQzMz] In Belgium we have a legal minimum of 20 days, excluding official Hollidays for fulltime jobs. If your contract has more then a normal fulltime schedule (I think the default is 36h/week) you have to receive recuperation days. For example, I have 10 days extra since I have a 40h/week contract. My mom only 3 since she works 37h/week. People also receive extra days for their long history at the same employer, but that's company dependant. At my company it's 1 day extra per 5 years, which is nice. Most people do not have this (e.g. factory workers, craftsman, ...) I work 6 years at my company, so for me it's 1 day extra. I know it's a lot more at banks, government,... My situation: <30 years old, bachelor degree, 6 years at my first employer. 20 minimum + 10 recuperation + 1 history = 31 days, excluding Official Hollidays. My mom: >50 years old, just highschool, +30 years at a big bank. 20 minimum + 3 recuperation + 30 history = 53 days, excluding Official Hollidays. Note: my mom has a LOT of hollidays. This is very rare for a person employed in the private sector. Banks are still very good for giving extra hollidays. But my mom's contract is still from the good old days. You won't have this today. To my knowlegde: compared to Belgium, US and Canada have very little hollidays. UK, Germany and The Netherlands a bit fewer then Belgium. But going more to southern Europe, they tend to have more hollidays. France and Spain have more then Belgium. [/quote]
