How many PTO days do European's get a year? I'd like to compare to where I'm at after starting a new job here in the US (US native).
Poland.
26 days off, plus bank holidays; minimum two weeks consecutively off work during the year.
Unlimited sick leave for yourself or taking care of children, need doctor note, paid 80%.
9 months full pay or 12 months 80% pay maternity leave. Somehow this can be split with the father, but I'm not up to speed on it. Then up to 3 years unpaid leave if you want.
Extra days off by law: 2 days when you get married, have a child born, death of your spouse, child or parent; 1 say when your kid gets married and death of a sibling, grandparent or mother/father in law.
These are all by law, companies can and do go beyond (e.g. 100% paid sick leave).
