Only the break between semesters. Usually 1-2 weeks between each semester.

2 weeks of vacation and 48 hours of personal time which can be carried over year to year at up to a maximum of 80hrs. So about 3 weeks.

10 days, 4 floating holidays. I put 2 weeks, though, since the FH's are supposed to make up for the fact that we only have 6 calendar holidays (in DC, most places including the govt have 10 calendar holidays alone).

10 days, plus 4 floating holidays. I'm carrying 28 hours forward from 07, so this year I'll have 140 hours.

1 week but I just started a new job a month ago as a contractor. Once I go fulltime I jump up to 3 I think.

Twenty days annual leave.

However many usual public holidays (7 or so?), plus two public holidays in lieu (which you can take whenever you want, but they don't accrue).

As much flexi time as I can accrue (salaried 37.5hours a week, anything beyond that accrues as time I can take off, up to a limit of five days at any one time. In practice this usually means I could comfortably take a day off a fortnight if I wished).

My offer said 2 weeks, but I ended up with 6 and half weeks of vacation total this year(my first year).

20 vacation days per year.

Up to 3 good attendance days per year (1 for first 6 months of perfect attendance the previous year, 1 for the 2nd 6 months, and an extra if you have perfect attendance for the entire previous year)

So I have 23 this year.

Also have 14 paid holidays this year.

37 paid days off! :D

Oh, and it took 15 years of service to earn the 20 paid vacation days.

I also have the option to convert overtime to comp. time.

Up to 45 sick days per year, at the managers discression to approve (taking those causes the loss of good attendance days the following year though).
