It’s around 5 weeks in the EU, sometimes 4 IIRC. France, where I live it’s 5, and if you work more than 35h a week you pile that up for sporadic “vacation” days, last job I had was 37.5h/w and 5w + 11 of those days (the difference is that you might not be allowed to use them as a big ass holiday, but most people use them a bit like that, a bit for the dentist etc).
And the normal holidays of course like 8 of May, IIRC there are like 11.
If i worked 9 months in a company and quit, i would get it as “feriepenge” where i can request the money online when i note which days i am taking off.
People in Norway say they have paid vacation, but it’s really a forced savings scheme coming out of your paycheck every month. That’s why I’m suspicious. Anyway, that’s great for you. Denmark is probably the superior Scandinavian nation
What’s the difference, in the end? Are wages after accounting for this worse for Norwegians than Danes?
At the end of the day any mandatory paid holiday system means the employee does less work so is less valuable to the employer (benefits of returning refreshed notwithstanding - in any case all these effects should be the same regardless of what financial rules govern it) so the employer might want to pay them less in total.
But this should reach an equilibrium where the cost to the employer is similar for similar amounts of labour, resulting in similar pay.
I have 6 weeks per year of vacation, with pay 🇩🇰
Is this the minimum required, or just common?
We have 4 weeks annual leave (not including sick leave and public holidays) and I reckon it’s not enough 🇦🇺
Probably because our union movement has been crushed by years of hostile governments and right wing media monopoly.

Pay or feriepenger?
I just get paid my normal salary plus 12.5%
Yes, i get more when i take my vacation
If i worked 9 months in a company and quit, i would get it as “feriepenge” where i can request the money online when i note which days i am taking off.
Not the same user, but it’s pay for me, not feriepenge
