Lots of European nations get a whole lot more paid vacation than Americans do...plus family leave and medical. Makes you want to run away sometimes, doesn't it?
Just try sending me an email while I'm gone. Betcha I answer in less than 24 hours
Can I ask how vacation works for you? Most of the time that we meet people from overseas, they are taking very long vacations, like three weeks. DH just couldn't do that with his job. I know that in order to make the flight worth the money you've got to stay longer, but how can you take so long for a vacation?
In the Netherlands you've a minimum of 5 weeks paid vacation.
Some jobs have a bit more but then it's at the most 6 weeks.
There is a rule that most jobs have and that is the maximum vacations weeks that you can spend at one time and that is 3 weeks in a row.
This year we travel the april/may period with lots of (national) holidays so it doesn't cost me the whole 4 weeks, it turns out it costs me just 3 weeks.
I realize that it's much more paid vacation then the average american get....
Is there a maximum amount off that you can take in a row???
Or is it possible to take all of you're vacation off in a row?
