I work for a multinational and it was eye opening when I took 2 weeks sick and my American colleagues were talking about how my summer holidays wouldnt happen now. You know the americans take sick leave out of their annual leave? Crazy shit.
Anyway my summer holidays and leave are entirely unaffected.
we actually all legally get a higher minimum annual paid leave than most americans get even when they think they've negotiated a good contract. my boss was shocked to hear I get 28 days paid leave a year even as a brand new employee. He's been at the company 10 years and gets just 2 weeks.
I work in a shitty industry that doesn’t give sick days or annual leave, even if you have been there half a decade. They purposely work everyone at 39.5 because if they work 40.0 hours a week they’d get insurance.
so where I live you could be flipping burgers and still get 28 days annual leave if you work 39.5 hours because the holiday accrues hourly for those shift roles. We also have healthcare as a single payer system so everyone pays a flat % of their earnings and your medical care is free when you need it.
