Boeing provides paid time off for 12 standard holidays, including a winter break between December 24 and January 1. The winter break is for the benefit of employees and the business and is offered in lieu of certain other government holidays.
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.
