Interesting article on the BBC website today about the difference in paid holiday entitlement between the USA and the UK.

The average leave entitlement in the UK is 20 days, and in the US 9 days (but you have to accrue it); in fact, 1 in 4 workers in the USA do not get any paid holiday or paid vacation (not sure what the difference is).

A handy chart for some countries

How many days paid holiday do you get a year? (don't forget to add on Bank Holidays if you get paid for them).
