Mandatory paid vacation days

Paid time off (PTO) workers’ rights vary significantly around the world. 

The United States, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and India are some of the few countries without a universal national entitlement, or mandatory PTO.

Many countries require employers to grant workers an entire month’s worth of paid vacation days per year, excluding paid public holidays. In Andorra, the country with the highest number of paid vacation days, PTO must include two weeks of consecutive vacation time to ensure an uninterrupted rest period.

Countries with most mandatory vacation days

Andorra: 31 days

Algeria: 30 days

Bahrain: 30 days

Burkina Faso: 30 days

Kuwait: 30 days

Panama: 30 days

Peru: 30 days

United Arab Emirates: 30 days

Republic of Congo: 26 days

Iran: 26 days

I believe the more accurate way to title this fact is `Minimal´ Mandatory Vacation Days. For example, in Brazil, all workers are entitled to 30 days, but, are allowed to sale 10 days if they choose. This is why Brazil is listed with 20 days in the report and not 30. People like me, who prefer the time off over the money, take the legal 30 days off each year.
