Is paid annual leave available to workers?

This map shows the length of paid annual leave or vacation that is guaranteed to workers.

If leave entitlements vary, we report the lowest amount of leave guaranteed to a worker with at least one year of tenure.

Leave that is at the discretion of the employer is not considered a guarantee of paid annual leave.
