It’s just left up to the employers. My employer gives me 4 weeks paid vacation, with sick time being additional to that and they have never given me a hard time for taking time off, even with just a few days notice.

    We have a mixture. We have laws mandate minimum to vacation time, that the employer must respect the preferred dates for the free time as stated by its employees and only may deny or cancel vacation if the company would take major damage. And major as in: we have to let people go or even close major.

    If the employer cancels your vacation, he must compensate you in full for all financial losses due to bookings for example.

    In addition, paid time off and working hours are if course also benefits that could be used to attract employees

    30 days vacation/ year , to 38 hour week, working from wherever I want, even in some pool in some hotel, and of course, paid sick leave. That is my current luxury.

    And don't forget: about 10 work free holidays per year ;)

    That sounds great. I have 10 days of vacation a year (not required by law) and 3 sick days (required by law in my state). 60-80 hours a week, and this is a "good" job. It's been 12 years and I can't keep this up much longer. But I look at other people's jobs for a living, and I know it could be worse.
