Right now I am working 14on/14off.

I work 180hrs in 2 weeks and then take 2 weeks off

Hard work but I wouldn't trade it for anything

I'm in the U.S. military, so I nominally get 2.5 days a month (30 days per year). However, I hardly ever get a chance to actually use that leave; the last time I took any was back around Christmas.

0 days... working 3 jobs will do that to you

I'm an american working for a european company in American. I get four weeks vacation plus the standard 8-10 American holidays per year. It's pretty great.

My employer is particularly generous with PTO (Paid Time Off), which accrues (with my position and seniority) at something like 13.5 hours per pay-cycle. We also accrue sick time at roughly 1/3 that rate.

Being self employed technically it could be as many days as I want but realistically it tends towards the "No holiday ever" choice so I put 1-5 days a year.

I have a total of 5 weeks per year plus 5 days extra unpaid.... It makes my annual stay in the gorgeous Philippines much more palatable.
I mean, who wants to fly for 18+ hours then factor in a large time difference (+8 hrs), effectively taking 2-3 days from your holiday time, only to do it again 9 days later!?

That and being able to stay rent free in my house just 30km from Manila......it's all good.
Add the LGS in my local Mall and I'm a happy bunny.....

6+ weeks paid vacation, plus the 8 national holidays. The usual is 5 weeks in Norway. Although this year is the first in 3yrs where I'm actually able to claim more than 2 of those 6 weeks.

26 days + public holidays (which I forgot to factor in when voteing).

About 200 days a year. University is fantastic.

Holiday? HA! I make $7.70 an hour, and I'm lucky to get 30 hours a week. Rent is $350, utilities average $100, gas is $25, car payment is $90, plus gas for the car, food, etc. It gets PRETTY rough....


Jon

haha holiday...that's such a european way to say vacation days...but anywho I'm a college student, so not including summer I get two weeks off for christmas, and a week off for thanksgiving

Being serious: half a jear. Im homeshooled, and my family is traveling literally half the jear. I was introduced to warhammer 40k in sweden, and im hoping to get to england soon cause of all the gws xD

I'm working in China, teaching in a uni so I get a combined total of 5 months (2 of which are unpaid)
2 months for summer vacation
1 month for winter vacation
1 month for September (freshmen must undergo 1 month of "boot camp")
and combined national holidays through out the year gives me another month scattered over the other remaining months

(using proxy so probably going to appear as posing from the US)

im not quite sure...

I'm self employed so my holiday breaks are up to me.

Here in New Zealand I am about to start summer holidays. They will stretch from November 15th to February 7th ish. Plus school holidays between terms makes up 6 weeks during the year.

So I make that roughly 18 weeks a year

yeahhhhhh. I am average again. I work and go to school. NO vacation for me.

I get 33 paid days for holiday including bank holidays.

80hrs a year. It sucks getting so little, but the fact that I can take as much or as little of it at a time is nice.

I get 31 days a year.

But I also work 10 weekends and a share of bank holidays, so it probably averages out at 9.

What's holiday?

(when you freelance, it's catch-as-catch can, there are slow seasons - but I wouldn't necessarily consider that a holiday)

As much as i want to have, european? proud of it!

Vacation? Between working a job that gives zero vacation or sick leave and studies, there is no vacation. I mean I got Christmas off, but I think that's the only holiday the store is actually closed. It also landed on a Sunday, a day I don't normally work anyway, so zero technically.

Most nursing jobs don't give any national holidays off (It's not like you can close a hospital for a holiday), but instead give employees holiday pay or for working the day + an extra hours of pay or extra vacation time for the holiday if they work it or not.

I like it more working at jobs with three 12 hour shifts per week than five four hour shifts per week. It also makes vacation days somewhat relative because taking a day off requires 12 hours of vacation time per day to be used instead of 8 hours. The upside is every weekend is a 4 day weekend, but the 4 day weekend doesn't necessarily include Saturday and Sunday. All of that being said I can't stand being on 8 hour shifts, and I love 12 hour shifts.

Yay for being a student

Well, I just had my last 2 months of summer break. Now I'm at my last year of school and after that, Ill be joing the reserves for about 9-12 months then I'll be joining the RF! (Regular Forces)(either as an Officer (2nd Left-Tenant, or as a Field Engineer (Sapper)).

I have loads of holidays, as I am highschool.
Lots of spare time for painting and gaming.
