United Kingdom:

The United Kingdom enjoys the greatest amount of statutory paid holiday in the world, thus making its place right on top of the list. A worker is entitled to 28 days of annual leave each year, public holidays being 8 days, adding to a total of 36 days. The survey also suggested that in spite of having the highest potential holidays, in reality U.K. employees fare worse than other European employees.

 

Poland:

Poland takes the second position on this list with a generous 26 days statutory holiday entitlement along with 11 days of public holidays. Based on the Poland regulation, duration of holidays in a calendar year is dependent on the seniority of employees. An employee with a service above 10 years is granted 26 working days as leave and for a service less than 10 years 20 working days is granted as leave.
