Why would one need to save up vacation days to take a "full paycheck" off? That is one month, so 20 working days? 20 working days should be very common mount of available vacation days per year (at least in EU)?
Americans:
I probably shouldn’t mention that 20 days is the legal minimum for full-time employment, and that 30 days is the typical amount most people receive. And there are extra days for getting promoted or working 10+ years...
I moved from my homeland to another EU country. When applying for a job through an agency, they asked me if 27 days of vacation is enough for me, cause typically everyone have 30 or more days in this country. I looked at her, smiled and said "Yes, that is enough". Little did she knew that back in my town I had maximum of 20 working days vacation + by the contract I was not able to take out more than 10 days in a row.
