In any case, technically I take all 20 of my leave days each year. Employees average 8 paid public holidays a year, but if a friend of mine is any example, companies are able to pick and choose whether they offer paid leave for many of the so-called public holidays. CNBC reportsthat in the US, employees get around 10 days of paid vacation per year after one year of working for a company, which rises to about 15 days after five years of service. I always thought Australia did pretty well for paid leave, given the dire state of affairs in the United States. This puts us below Oman, which sits at number 55 with 31 days leave. What surprised me about the list of 55 countries included on this website is that Australia wasn’t on it.Īustralia only averages 27 days, depending on where you live in as there are a number of state (or city) specific paid holidays. Workers also receive 13 paid public holidays, bringing the total paid leave to 43 days.” Apparently, “Workers in Kuwait are entitled to 30 vacation days per year, when working a 5-day week. I work hard when I am at work, but I love having a vacation to look forward to.Īccording to World Atlas, residents of Kuwait get the most annual leave days in the world. I like to take my annual leave more or less in the year in which it is accumulated. I know a lot of people who have managed to accumulate several weeks’ leave after being with a company for a few years. I recently took a week off work, ostensibly to celebrate my birthday but mostly because my mother came down for a visit and it provided a great excuse to break up the second half of the year, as we rush toward Christmas.
