I'm guessing that those who get the REIT documentation for Starwood would have access to a better list that includes straight ownership, but I'm not in that group.l. But all this begs a question that I've been meaning to ask... -- CaptainG. Last edited by CaptainG; Oct 1, 08 at 10:09 pm.
Median Figures. For paid time off plans, the average amount of time off corresponds exactly to the median amount of time off. Workers typically receive 15 days during their first year on the job, 24 at the 10-year mark and 29 for 20 or more years of service. However, median vacation pay differs from the average.
The typical U.S. worker at a private company gets 10 days of paid vacation and six paid holidays per year. That is markedly less than what employees in Europe receive. France has the most generous vacation policy, mandating a minimum of 30 paid days off per year. The U.K. comes in at No. 2, at 28 vacation days, followed by Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden (25 days). This, too, is a matter of law. The European Union in 1993 required all member countries to set a minimum of 20 days of paid vacation days per year. Only Japan is stingier with paid time off than the U.S. among advanced economies, with the average worker there getting no paid holidays along with 10 paid vacation days.
