I'm actually shocked. I'm given 15 days of vacation, and 15 sick days. Eight hours of overtime definitely does not equal one day of vacation. Not that it bothers me, I'm perfectly happy with this situation, and we're well compensated in work environment, company events, beer Thursdays, and damn near every thinkable holiday…
I get currently 20 days + all bank holidays(11) + day after thanksgiving, and the week after xmas(so far). All and all ~36, that's WAY more than i will ever use.
In Denmark i got 25 days,when you added national holidays it equaled to about 32 and about 10 sick days and if you had children 5 more. And you lost your job you did not lose the vacation days,you could either get it in the form of cash or xfer it over to the next job. They say Americans dont like to take time off but when…
In Germany: 10-4 flex hours, you have to be at your desk for 8 hours, the lunch 30 min is unpaid. We were asked sometimes to do overtime, but it was voluntary even if they were leaning heavily on you, and every 8 hours overtime got you a day extra vacation, which already started at a mandatory minimum 24 days (an EU…
Im not in a game studio. more like design/media related 3d art.

Havent heard anyone say they get paid for overtime ever but there…
Are you saying that in shock that it's too little? Or too much? In the UK you are entitled to 28 days of vacation per year (that's including bank holidays), and at our company, 6 hours overtime = one day of vacation. Although obviously that may vary per company policy and whatever contract you signed. Agree with this, even…
I work in television - core hours of 9a to 7 p. hour lunch taken between 1 and 3. Crunch times can last as long as 18 to 20 hours. No overtime pay. No vacation, no sick days. They look at us as Freelance but we are required to show up to the office every day and put in the mandated 10 hours. If we miss time we get our pay…
Rules like this is a big reason why i've never worked a single day at an American game dev studio despite the fact im American. I really wish we had proper labor laws in the states. Every job ive worked at has not had the soul crushing/unapid overtime as friends of mine have experienced at U.S countries, Last job i did…
