    Vacation time I think needs a minimum if you’re going to do unlimited, otherwise people aren’t sure what to take and may take less.

    There’s no such thing as unlimited time off.

      There are places that state they have “unlimited vacations” but I expect they will fire you if you take too many days off. A friend of mine has all the Fridays in the year off, plus the regular vacations.

        I don’t know where these places are but pretty much every company will have a minimum number of hours you need to work a year (they usually define this as the maximum number of holidays you can take a year rather than the number of days you actually have to work, but it works out the same way) and they’ll tell you what those are, they can’t expect you to just guess.

        For example i can take a maximum of 21 holiday days a year + however many days I am sick + national holidays.

          Maybe although I am sure they have a very sketchy contract as they don’t adhere to regulations anyway
