Important to know Europe doesn't calculate time offs like the US does. In the US, if you take 4 weeks off, it's 20 days PTO. In Europe it's 28-30.
Which countries do it like this? At least at where I've worked in the UK, only the days where you would've normally been at work are counted.
In Sweden and Denmark as well, it would be calculated as 20 days assuming a standard Monday to Friday office hours job. I'm also curious to know where the parent poster got the 28-30 days calculation from.
Agreed, I have never heard of this, I’m pretty sure it would not be legal in the UK
I’ve managed team members in many European countries; we only count days you’d otherwise work. (We do have one every 5 year sabbatical program that is “4 weeks, and if there was a company holiday in that stretch, you don’t get an extra day”, but otherwise, taking 4 M-F stretches is 4x5 = 20 days of PTO.
Based on the downvotes and replies, I'd say this is not true.
You're wrong for the case of the Netherlands and Belgium.
