Hard to tell, if you work for the government: 28 days. Private firms: approx. 24 days. It all depends on your contract. The most days you get if you work in education.

when my boyfriend got his dutch contract he got 25days of vacation. So I'm guessing that's standard but I know his boss gets a whole lot more. Seems like the guy is off on hoiday about once a month!

The minimum by law is 20 days (exclusive the major Christian holidays), if you work 40 hours a week. Most people get about 25 days paid leave. Since the mid eighties a lot of people get about 13 extra days, as some kind of part time working, to help the jobless to get a job. the idea behind this is that if there's not enough work for everyone we better share it with the jobless. So most people in the Netherlands have more than seven weeks vacation per year

It's 20 and than you add the obligatory holidays. Then you get more days off if you're over 50 and most employers (like the government) give a few days more. Next to that most people have an 38 hour contract and work 40 hours, which gives you another 13 days. So, you can have a lot of days of in Holland.

In Holland the minimum is 20 days. There are many companies that also have what we call ATV days (13) The idea was if everyone had extra days off, there was yet another working place to fill. That means that you hava 20+13 days of. If you are older than 60 you have 3 extra days off. if you are a sales rep. you have 3 extra days. There are people who have more than 40 days to take for a break!!
