Do you mind sharing roughly where that is? Obviously don’t dox yourself completely lol
I’ve been at my company for 7 years this August and will just now hit that 120 hours vacation time, naturally just as I’m looking to quit lol
Companies here start at 0 hours vacation for the first year, and then slightly increase it for the 2nd year. I’m considered “lucky” for the time I get now…
In civilized nations 120 hours would be far below the legal minimum for a full time position. Here in the Netherlands the legal minimum is 4 weeks (20 days or 160 hours) but pretty much every company offers at least 25.
Australia has 20 days annual leave for full time employees mandated by law, and it carries over year on year so you can build up a significant chunk of time if you work somewhere for a long time.
Also those hours belong to you, not the company, so you get it paid out if you quit.
We also have a Long Service Leave program where if you work somewhere for 7 year you get roughly a week off for every year of employment with a company, it does vary slightly state by state.
The construction industry has made an arrangment that as long as you are working construction in some way, your long service leave entitlement carry over between employers and jobs.
Lot of companies also add carers leave on top of this, which may not carry over year on year, and sick leave can be fairly variable between everywhere I’ve ever worked has been pretty casual about it, if you call in sick a day here or there then they don’t hassle you, but for longer periods you might need a doctor’s certificate.

In a previous job I had 57 paid days off.
