Norwegian here. 20 days a year is the legal minimum, while 25 days is the norm. I get 30 days a year while working for an American company, which is a bit ironic.

Don’t forget all the inneklemt days. May next year is a inneklemt bonanza. I doubt there will be much done at all in the country in May.

(It’s common in Norway to take any day that is between two off days off. So May 1st is a national holiday, next year it falls on a Tuesday, so that means many will take the Monday off, a so called innneklemt day. There’s a lot of holidays in May, and next year all of them creates inneklemt days.)

NZ has a minimum 4 weeks annual leave (20 days not counting weekends) plus 11 statutory public holidays. Australia is basically the same.

For regular, full time employees, 28 is typical in Germany. 24 is the legal minimum.
