How many days of holiday, leave, sick days do you get?

[AbsentmindedWoman]

How many days do you get, and do you feel it is enough to restore you?

What do you think is a generous amount, and what is measly?

I know MN is mainly UK but interested in responses from all countries. I'm looking for jobs in the US, and my god it is so complicated! All companies have different mixes of vacation days, personal days, holidays (pretty much think this is like bank hols, and if the office is closed for Christmas etc) and then rather confusingly - a set amount of sick days.

27 days holiday, 11 bank holidays (including the odd days at Christmas, as the office shuts down)

We get most of ours set by our employer - office closes on December 23rd and reopens January 2nd so we get anything up to 8 days or 2 weeks off then depending on whether they fall on weekends or weekdays. Then we get another 2 weeks set and another 2 weeks to use whenever we like. Plus bank holidays.

28 days, no bank holidays. Usually roll 5 over most years.

I get 2 lieu days a month as work a weekend and usually plan it so I get a four day weekend once a month

Wait maybe it's 25 days. I forget

Mainland Europe, 35 days leave but must produce a doctor's note after first sick day. Love my badly paid, good conditions job.

31 days Annual Leave
All 8 Bank Holidays
Ability to use 13 Flexi Days (obviously if time accrued)
6 mths full pay sick pay followed by 6 months half pay.

26 days holiday plus
4 days purchased holiday
8 Bank Holidays

No set limit to sick days but I believe if you are ill several times within a set period you have to chat to HR.

I'm UK based in an American company.

I also (at the discretion of my manager) get several days TOIL per year after particularly heavy periods of work.

I'm a management accountant, salaried.

Bank holidays plus 26 days leave, 13 days flex. For sick days there's an escalation process if you're taking the piss but a few days once or twice a year is fine.

25 days holiday. No idea about sick as I keep going to work unless the flu...or stress, so only 1 or two days a year.

Would like more holiday, obv 😁

28 days plus the 8bank holidays and any lieu hours/ days I incur.

25 days
8 bank holidays
Ability to buy / sell 5 days a year
Rises to 28 days after 3 years service

Until 3 years, 4 weeks sick pay
3 years - 12 years , 12 weeks sick pay
12 years, 26 weeks sick pay

Obviously all discretionary (they contractually have to allow you the above, but if a good employee needed more than 4 weeks and they weren't entitled to it, they'd normally let them have it)

Uk based, private company

25 days holiday, 8 bank holidays. UK.

Sick leave is if you are sick, not a set amount. My boss takes a dim view of the sore throat sickie, expects us to work from home (pre-Covid) although he is very supportive of anyone who is seriously sick or been bereaved.

Uk. Public Sector.

33days annual leave + 8 bank holidays.

6months full pay 6months sick pay.

I’ve worked for the same employer for 19years so have long service benefits.

It’s a 24/7 role so the office never shuts. I usually roll forward about 5days of leave.

I had 2months off last year with burnout.

25 days plus bank holidays.
Sick pay 6 months then you claim insurance
If you get a reputation for being sickly you need to produce a doctors note with immediate effect

31 days Annual Leave
All 8 Bank Holidays
Ability to use 13 Flexi Days (obviously if time accrued)
6 mths full pay sick pay followed by 6 months half pay

This but 30 days AL instead of 31. Mat leave is 6 months full pay followed by 3 months SSP as well

Well standard in U.K. is 20 days plus bank holidays (or days in lieu). So I think 25 days plus bank holidays or more is good. I also look at paid parental leave policies.

Government minimum, 20 days plus 8 PH, no sick (only SSP). Normal for small businesses. I love my job so it's not a problem.

UK Civil Service. 30 days (after 10 years). No other time off apart from Bank Holidays. We work between Xmas and new year for example. I am entitled to TOIL which is a bit like flexi time but at my managers discretion. In practice I don’t ask for it even if I work long hours. I can’t remember what the sick pay is but I think it’s up to 5 months (?) on full pay.

28 days holiday plus bank Holidays. No idea on sick leave as never had a day off sick, as pp I think after a couple of instances sick then HR call you in for a chat.

I worked for a Texan company and had 20 days holiday but was told verbally that only taking 10 days was ‘career enhancing’.

I always took all 20 days, it used to drive my US boss mad but there was nothing he could do about it.

He’d already had one heart attack at 42. I didn’t want to end up the same.

33 days holiday
8 bank holidays
6 months full pay sick pay, 6 months half pay

35 days holiday to be taken when I want them.
All bank holidays
6 months full pall sick leave and 6 months half pay sick leave then down to ssp.

32 plus 8 bank hols, and TOIL.

In uk, 20 days! Plus bank holidays. I’m shocked as it’s like a starting job allowance but this is across the entire company, regardless of time served. I’m going to leave because of it.
Sickness - no idea, I’ve not looked at the policy.

I used to get 25 days plus bank holidays...that seemed to be fairly standard. I have only ever worked full time in the UK.

Now, I'm a SAHM, so I get zero, or 365 days p/a, depending on your perspective .
