I get 33 paid days holiday in Australia used to be about 36 in UK (including public holiday) how's that compare to your average office worker there? Or am I mistaken?
 

A typical worker in the US starts out with 10 days vacation, 10 holidays, and 5 to 10 days of sick leave per year. Unused leave accumulates, so if you don't use a vacation day after your first year you can take 20 days off after two years. Unused vacation days are paid as days worked if an employee leaves with leftover vacation days. Unused sick leave is worthless, but some companies combine the two into a "paid time off," in which case the whole amount is paid on termination. The vacation days per year increase, usually in a lump increase to 15 and 20 after 5 and 10 years with the same company. But that varies significantly by company. Many companies only allow accumulation of vacation up to a set limit.
