Leave entitlements in United States
The United States has no federal law requiring paid vacation. Leave policies are determined by employers, with most full-time workers receiving 10-15 days of paid time off (PTO) per year. Many companies combine vacation, sick leave, and personal days into a single PTO bank. Federal holidays (like Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) are typically observed, though private employers are not required to provide paid time off for these days.
