How many days holiday do you get a year from your place of work?

Question

I get a rubbish 20 days holiday a year and I do 40-45 hours a week... Its no where near enough. I think it should be double that, what do you think?

Answer 1

You're complaining about 20 days holiday?!?!!  Heck, in the U.S. you're lucky if you get 3 weeks vacation, and most Americans average 50-60 hours a week at work.  You're spoiled, dearie...

Answer 2

We get the basic five government holidays ... New years, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We also get one week vacation. You get more than I do so quit bitchin and get back to work.

Answer 3

I live in New Zealand and we get 20 days a year which i believe is very generous especially compared to America. We also get a number of stat days throughout the year Waitangi day (Feb 6) , easter (Good friday, and easter monday around March/April), anzac day (Arpil 25), queens birthday (June 2nd) , labour day (October 23rd) also depending where you live we get a regional anniversary type day off work too, for Christchurch that is November 14 so we do pretty well. You could look into becoming a school teacher, then you'd get roughly 12 weeks holiday a year but you'd work your butt off for it!
