Work conditions may be different in each country. So I am wondering how long for can you take holidays to stay off from work. In Spain, it's usual to have thirty days a year. Here, we usually take twice fifteen days. But, some prefer to take the whole month. Apart from that, we also have fourteen national bank holidays and some local ones depending of each comunity.
Is it the same in your country?

I use to be a teacher, so was off all summer. Many of my friends are off a different amount of days depending on the company and how long they have worked there.

My husband was a teacher so he had summers off, I have mostly worked for myself so when i want a day off I gift it to myself. We are both retired now and still we are working part time but if we want time off we take it.

14 Bank Holidays are great, that's the same here. Usually, you have to work at least six month before you can ask for 14 (holi)days. Some companies also ask you to work through a complete before asking for you first holidays. It depends a bit of the company you work for. But 30 days during a year is normal, even if you work half time. I knew only one company here which said that after the first worked year, you can take two weeks, after the second year three weeks and after the third year you already can take the thirty days.

It depends on the place a person works. I know some people can have up to ten vacation days, but some places do not have any or have only a few amount of sick days, not vacation days. or some people have to save up their vacation days just to actually take a vacation.
