在調查涵蓋的12個國家里，愛爾蘭和荷蘭情況相似，都是29天，而丹麥、德國部分地區、葡萄牙和瑞典的上班族工作最少，節假日有38或39天。
Employees in Holland, England, Ireland and Italy have just 20 days statutory paid annual leave, with additional entitlement at the discretion of employers.
荷蘭、英國、愛爾蘭和意大利的員工只有20天的法定帶薪年假，額外休假還得由老板來定奪。
A plethora of annual Bank Holidays also exist across Europe. Portugal, Sweden, Spain and some parts of Germany top the list with 14 days each, including holidays such as 'Freedom Day' (Dia da Liberdade) on April 25 in Portugal and 'Midsummer's Day' on June 25 in Sweden.

相比之下，英國的公休假最少，只有8天。愛爾蘭人在圣帕特里克節（3月17日）的慶祝活動世界聞名，但是英國的守護神日——圣喬治日（4月23日）卻沒有被設為公共假日。
The Danes receive a generous 27 statutory days, despite having the lowest number of Bank Holidays on the calendar. Their holiday allowance puts them ahead of Finland, France, Norway, Portugal and Sweden, who all get 25 days.
丹麥人盡管日歷上標出的法定公休假最少，但他們卻享有多達27天的年假，超過了有25天年假的芬蘭、法國、挪威、葡萄牙和瑞典。
