Locals also enjoy generous vacation benefits. Andorra workers who have been employed at a company for more than six months are of paid vacation per year. For employees with five-day work weeks, that calculates to 28 days. However, employers can choose to count public holidays as part of a worker's annual leave allocation. Workers in Moldova, a country in Eastern Europe, are guaranteed 28 calendar days of paid vacation per year, not including public holidays.
Unlike some other countries, Luxembourg allows its workers to take the full annual leave all at once, as long as they've been employed by their company for at least three months. San Marino, a nation approximately the size of Manhattan, may be one of the smallest countries in the world. But its vacation benefits are sizeable.
