6 days paid vacation, New Years, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

20 days paid vacation. (It helps to work for a large Corporation for over 17 years)

3 days Personal Time

= 29 days

Oh yeah, I'm not counting 6 months+ of paid sick leave which I have very rarely taken.

15 days paid vaca, 2 "floating" holidays, 9 stat holidays.

Every 5 years here you get another 5 days vacation.

This reminds me... I have to book some time off for the holidays.

6 years but in Belgium the number of days are defined by law

if you work full time you have a minimum of 20 days, most companies add some extra days.
I think the average Belgian worker has around 26 days paid holiday

In my company it's 26 days + 13 compensation days because I work 40 hours in a 38 hour work week, so actually it's 39 days this year :p

As much as I want!
Self-employment FTW.

Of course that means that I'm working whenever I'm on vacation.
The freedom is great, but the lack of security is sometimes scary.

I earn 4 hrs of annual and 4 hrs of sick leave every 2 weeks, so roughly 12 8hr days of each a year, plus federal holidays. I only work about 25 hrs a week though.

we get two weeks vacation a year.

I always use all of it... I typically take a week off in the spring and then use the rest of the days scattered throughout the year for some long weekends.

I get 14 days vacation, 10 holidays, 4 sick days, and thus far I have built 13 more days in comp time in the last 5 months.

So... 41

**edit** one more and I would have the answer to life, the universe, and everything!

The pay isn't that great, but well worth it in benefits. :D
