I've never worked a job, in the states, that didn't have a contract which stated what your job duties were, what your pay would be, how many hours you were able to work, and how much holiday time you would have. If you get a job that doesn't tell you these things, run far away. Thank you for posting the information about London!
In Finland, if you work for a year, you will get 30 working days of holidays in a year (excluding Saturdays and Sundays). Out of these 30 days holidays, 24 can be used in Summer time and 6 in Winter time.
In Chile the minimum legal paid holidays are 15 days. It always surprises me when people from the USA are surprised when they learn that other countries have a minimum amount of paid days off stipulated by law.
I’m from Malaysia and it depends on how many years you’ve worked in the company, in general if you work less than 2 years you’ll only get 12 days annual leave, it will increase gradually after a few years in the company
I'm from Costa Rica and we get 1 day of holidays per month worked. As for hours, I work in full time (5 days) a total of 42,5 hours/week and it allows me to have a fairly balanced life. Thanks for this video, it's always interesting to know what's it like in major cities!
Australia also gives 4 weeks (only for full time employees) and we get 17% holiday loading, so we get more money for going on holiday! We also get 8 paid sick days per year.
in Brazil we have payed vocations 30 days per year and a 13th salary in the end of the year. The salary is per month and usually very low,by the other hand we have many securities garanteed by law ( people complain here but forget about that,we are in better situatn the workers from USA). The working hour is 8h per day ( usually;some jobs have abit more but not excedding 12h per day),if you exceedd that,the company should pay you more based in how many extra worked houirs you did.
I'm from Australia and we get annual leave which is 4 working weeks a year paid leave. So basically 20 days a year. I also get time in lieu with my current contract. Any hours worked over my regular week go into paid leave as well.
I'm going to move to London because I'm going to study there, I'm not just "looking for an adventure". I don't know why are you trying to scare people off. There's danger in every country around the world and London is a big city. Of course people need to be careful and know what are the safest options but don't generalize and don't make people anxious like that.
Im from Switzerland and i got six weeks holidays per year. Four weeks in Summer and two weeks in Winter without bank holidays. Greetings from Zurich 😄👍
The NI number also means your NI contributions will go towards a pension for you. Even if you leave London and the UK many years before you retire, you might still be entitled to some pension from the UK if you paid national insurance contributions here and NI contributions can count towards other things like sick pay, maternity pay and unemployment benefit but you have to pay them for a certain length of time before you become eligible for any benefits.
In Greece where i live it's 25 days paid annual leave in most jobs but some times depending on the employer it is 15 days paid annual leave. Whether it's a f/t or p/t job an employee needs to sign a contract. Standard working hours for an office job is 9-5 but with overtime you can't tell anymore. People who work in retail and restaurants/bars work more than 8 hrs on a daily basis. I have lived and worked in London a long time ago and as far as i can see nothing's changed regarding employment. Great video Jess! Xxx
I am from Toronto, Canada and typical workweek here is 37.5 hours, unless you are a lawyer, accountant, investment banker etc. and then your hours are insane. Employment law says that employees get 10 days of vacation per year, but almost all companies provide more than the minimum, and usually we get 15 days of vacation per year, and if an employer is generous we would also get 3-5 personal needs days per year, for those Dr. appointments or bureaucratic errands one needs to take care of etc.
Finland: total of 24 - 30 days of vacation per year. In private sector that means 4-5 week long vacation and for public sector it means 5-6 weeks of vacation. First year at your job, you will get 2 days of vacation for each month you work. From the second year on, you will get 2,5 days of vacation for each month. If you work at the private sector, a week long vacation means that you will spend 6 days (mon - sat) from your "vacation bank" and in public sector only mon-fri will be counted. Normal work week means 36 - 38 hours of work from monday to friday.
Hey! Thanks for all this information, helped a lot! I'm from Paris, France, here we have 5 weeks of compulsory paid vacations for a normal hourly paid job 😄
In Germany employers are also obliged to give 20 days of holiday to full time employees. Depending on different work sectors it can be more, but 20 days is the minimum :-)
M Chapman so you don't get any holidays at all? that's not even 2 days per week. I work 35 hours per week ( over 4 days ) and get 32 days per year , (I get 2 days extra for seniority ), which works out at 8 weeks paid holiday. I have 188 days off work per year in total. I earn less , about $92,000pa but I think I have a much better life/ work balance and no health or pension worries for the future.
Australia - 4 weeks paid holidays a year as well as nine days of public holidays. After ten years with the one employer you get three months bonus paid holidays and then six weeks per year.
In New Zealand and Australia too, I think. We get a least 20 days of annual leave. If you’re a part time, you can get holiday pay which is 8% of your total pay.
honestly 10 days off from work is slavery....:O here in germany you get 24 working days (monday - friday) off by law....and thats the minimum! Mostly you get 26-28. In good jobs you get 30 days off...and thats preety normal.
Employers in the United States don't see u as a human being with a life. They only care about profits. They work you as cheaply as they can, as much as they can, with mediocre benefits (sometimes no benefits) and until u die. They see their people as expendible donkeys and slaves. Many employers don't offer maternity leave, so u are actually risking your job if u and your spouse have a baby. Living and working in the U.S. has become very stressfull. And I am an American saying this.
NZ is 4 weeks annual leave plus public holidays 😊. We also get 5 sick leave, my employer gives 10 a year. We also get 3 company days ( they pay us to take days off).... then you can get 10 days berevment leave if needed. So many leave benefits
20 days is awesome! Especially if you still celebrate holidays like 4th of July and Memorial Day weekend, etc. But getting paid monthly is something I would have to get use to.
The legal minimum leave in the UK is actually 28 days, for most people that is 20 flexible days and 8 public holidays but if you have to work on a public holiday you are entitled to a day off in lieu. In many companies it increases with seniority and length of employment so I work a 4 day week and get 34 days per year after 25 years with the same organisation. That works out to 6.5 weeks plus 8 public holidays.
Hi. My name is Vikas. I am an Indian citizen and am from India. I watched your video of this which has information abt working in London. I found this video of yours to be very very useful and informative. In India, we don't get too many holidays while in work, as the work pressure will be too high and the salaries offered will be quite less!! I find that working in the UK or any country in European Union for that matter is a matter of honor!! I request you to keep uploading videos like this about work environment in the UK. Thanks
Russia. Minimum 28 payed holidays(equal your salary same time) if you work 5 days in a week from 9 to 6 pm (with 1 hour dinner every day). If you have flexible schedule you will have more free days
I had 2 months leaves in Malaysia, so totally 2 months holidays in a year, it's awesome but no matter what, Im still pursuing my self to get job In London, and I hope I can get it soon, Amen
In Brazil, by law, you have 30 days of holidays and no employers can't deny it. But there are some specific professions like professors and health employees that can have 45 days off.
Love and London Lucky for NYC maybe, the minimum is actually 28 here (UK) :) (Technically “5.6 weeks”, which is a weird way to state it.) 55 hour weeks in NYC don’t sound good. Maybe just as well I forgot to get back to that particular recruiter...
Think I have it pretty good cause the 20 days exclude public holidays and personal days! Either way 20+ is splendid! I think the 55 hr week is the average but would vary depending on industry and corporate culture. I work 40 to 45 while some of my friends work a lot more (i.e. lawyers). 😀

14 days of vacation time in Turkey. It increases after 5 years of experience in the same company.
In South Africa, we get 15 days a year of leave (paid), excluding public holidays. How you spread it out depends on your workplace and company . I personally tried to take my leave days around public holidays to maximize my time off
You wanna know about holiday periods in other countries We have a minimum of 5-week holiday a year with a little more than full pay, some have an extra week + some have also free at holy days with full pay and we do also have the right to stay at home on the children's first sick day with full pay, one year of maternity leave, where we get a little more than the minimum wage The full-time workweek is 37 hour
Here in Colombia you choose your vacation time or your boss does, but you must have worked for more than a year. Sometimes you don't even go on vacation for x and y reasons... and you only have 15 business days
Belgium: 20 public paid holidays, 6 additional paid holidays from my employer and a maximum of 4 additional holidays based off tenure. In my case that’s 27 days off.
Hey Norway is a great place can u tell me more about Norway actually i am a personal coach in India and i help people to make their life better i am looking for the people who need help and want to live a peaceful. Life and first 10 people can experience my services for free if u wanna help. Me whatsapp me on 8882792088
In Finland holiday is 28 days, which passes 5 days per week. Naturally you Haven Works whole year from april till next years summer to have the holiday period.
I’m from Hong Kong just moved to Bristol a year ago. I used to have 25 days paid holiday a year +17 days public holiday. At my current job in Bristol I have 25 days paid holiday but there are only 8 days of bank holiday. I wish I had watched your video before coming to uk honestly. I didn’t know what national insurance is and I thought it was health insurance. Haha. Thanks for the video. It’s really helpful.
Hi Jess. Thanks for this helpful video! I'm glad to hear that I'll have at least 20 days of vacations when I move to London next month. In Argentina, where I'm from, the minimun is 14 days. You need to work for the same company for 5 years to get 21 days, and 10 years for 1 month.
I was born in China, studied in UK and worked in Singapore. In Singapore, all companies I have worked provide me14 days annal leave and 14 days medical leave.
As a Swiss student, I’ll have my first working experience in london. Happy that my school takes car of finding a job and paying for housing. Really don’t know what to expect
25 days of holiday time in Denmark. If you are employed somewhere where your union has an agreement with the company, you get an extra 5 days off. If your don't use the 5 days, you will get them disbursed.
I’m going into my second year of college and trying to decide where I’m going to live when I graduate. I’m really liking the videos I’m seeing in London and planning on taking a trip my junior year. These videos are really helping 😁😁
When we were in the service we were paid once a month. After paying bills & getting groceries l would divide the amount left into 4 parts so I knew how much I could spend each week! If an emergency came up it would go on credit card!
In Iraq the typical payed holiday depends where you work..for me as a university lecturer i get almost 3.5 months while my hubby has 1.5 months off a year besides other national holidays
My contract is Spanish (although I'm working in France) and I have 28 holidays and they're all paid. My colleagues in France have in between 45 and 52 paid holidays depending on the organization that sponsors their contracts. Crazy right!
I am from Trinidad and Tobago and I plan to move to London next year but I am not sure if we have a minimum vacation time allowance either. My last job we got 20 days a year, and 25 after 8 years.
My brother! let me ask u something; Im moving into one year to England, but how easy is to get a job in a factory or there are job agencies? Do they ask for work permit?
USA/Chicago: I get 25 days off not including holidays days adding those makes it over 30 days. I think it just depends on the company someone works for.
UAE- maximum 30 days, which including 8 days of national holiday, for paid leave. Commonly given flight entitlement to home county once a year. Also in Dubai, all visa sponsor (mostly employer) must be provided health insurance. If your salary is below 2500 dhs a month (amount may be wrong), employer must offer food & accommodation for their staff.
Australian private employers provide 20 days of annual leave. Public sector sometimes provide more depending on the workplace agreement negotiated by the union. This leave is on top of the 90 days long service leave when you accrue 10 years of full-time employment or an equivalent if you work part time. 😁😁😁 Full time work in the private sector varies from 38 to 40 hours; 37.5ish hours in the public sector.
In Nigeria, if you’re in government employ, you’d get a full month off each year. In the private sector, I don’t think there’s a minimum and employers often vary this
question: the NI Number, if you are not from Europe or USA, do you need to get a contract before you go to England or you go to England, get the NI Number and then a Job?
Great video! In Nicaragua we have 30 days of holiday time. I just got a B.A in English and I’m looking for a job in the UK 🇬🇧 but I don’t have money. Any advise you can provide me will be highly appreciated. Thank you! 😊👍🏼

NZ is 4 weeks annual leave plus public holidays 😊.
We also get 5 sick leave, my employer gives 10 a year. We also get 3 company days ( they pay us to take days off).... then you can get 10 days berevment leave if needed.
So many leave benefits
Just wondering, how much supposed to be is the average“basic” annual salary to live in London?
For a single person...
I can't believe this :(
Here in Mexico we only have 6 days of vacation per year.
Confirmo 😳
In India we get minimum of 20 days of paid vacation + 10 days of national holiday + sick leaves as well!
20 days is awesome! Especially if you still celebrate holidays like 4th of July and Memorial Day weekend, etc. But getting paid monthly is something I would have to get use to.
That’s something I didn’t mention Susan... we also get holidays like that ! Good point.
Susan Fluck standard practice: bills are paid monthly, so people budget monthly, and get paid monthly according.
Looking at y’all s comments I realized I should move ASAP lol! In Hongkong the legal minimum of paid annual leave is 7 days only!
You are very beautiful woman with a beautiful smile, I wish you all the best this year, how is the weather over there now

I work in NYC for a London-based employer. The policy is 20+ days of vacation.
Lucky duck!
Tabitha Gu ha! Genius
Love and London Lucky for NYC maybe, the minimum is actually 28 here (UK) :)
(Technically “5.6 weeks”, which is a weird way to state it.)
55 hour weeks in NYC don’t sound good. Maybe just as well I forgot to get back to that particular recruiter...
When you include bank holidays, it’s that much, yes. I wasn’t including them, there are 8, making the minimum 20 👍🏻
Think I have it pretty good cause the 20 days exclude public holidays and personal days! Either way 20+ is splendid! I think the 55 hr week is the average but would vary depending on industry and corporate culture. I work 40 to 45 while some of my friends work a lot more (i.e. lawyers). 😀

Depends on company for pay. Some companies do weekly
So helpful, thank you! In Norway we have around 5 weeks of paid holiday:))

Hi Jess. Thanks for this helpful video! I'm glad to hear that I'll have at least 20 days of vacations when I move to London next month. In Argentina, where I'm from, the minimun is 14 days. You need to work for the same company for 5 years to get 21 days, and 10 years for 1 month.
Oh wow, interesting! You'll also have 8 public holidays off :) Yay!

I’m going into my second year of college and trying to decide where I’m going to live when I graduate. I’m really liking the videos I’m seeing in London and planning on taking a trip my junior year. These videos are really helping 😁😁
Glad to hear it Eliciya :)
I'm from Indonesia, we get 12 days holiday leave at maximum. Sad to hear you guys get more than us!
When we were in the service we were paid once a month. After paying bills & getting groceries l would divide the amount left into 4 parts so I knew how much I could spend each week! If an emergency came up it would go on credit card!
Thanks. Very concise and yet informative.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Gomo
In Iraq the typical payed holiday depends where you work..for me as a university lecturer i get almost 3.5 months while my hubby has 1.5 months off a year besides other national holidays

In France, working for 1 month allows you to accumulate 2.5 days of paid vacation.. I am shocked to learn what you said about holidays in the US..
I am from Trinidad and Tobago and I plan to move to London next year but I am not sure if we have a minimum vacation time allowance either. My last job we got 20 days a year, and 25 after 8 years.

My brother! let me ask u something; Im moving into one year to England, but how easy is to get a job in a factory or there are job agencies? Do they ask for work permit?
USA/Chicago: I get 25 days off not including holidays days adding those makes it over 30 days. I think it just depends on the company someone works for.
Definitely!

Australian private employers provide 20 days of annual leave. Public sector sometimes provide more depending on the workplace agreement negotiated by the union. This leave is on top of the 90 days long service leave when you accrue 10 years of full-time employment or an equivalent if you work part time. 😁😁😁
Full time work in the private sector varies from 38 to 40 hours; 37.5ish hours in the public sector.
australia 4 weeks leave plus 10 days sick leave a year and then long service leave 9 weeks after 7 years of working for same company at my work
In Nigeria, if you’re in government employ, you’d get a full month off each year. In the private sector, I don’t think there’s a minimum and employers often vary this

I absolutely love the UK. I am an Anglophile. live in South Africa and although I love my country, I would leave SA for UK anytime.
Holiday isn't necessarily 20 days if you're part time... its 5.6 weeks times how many days you work, so if you work 5 days per week it's 28 days off.
yes... of course
Great video! In Nicaragua we have 30 days of holiday time. I just got a B.A in English and I’m looking for a job in the UK 🇬🇧 but I don’t have money. Any advise you can provide me will be highly appreciated. Thank you! 😊👍🏼
