In Norway you're required by law to take four weeks and a day vacation every year. Almost everyone has five weeks vacation time in total. Both you and your employer can demand that three of those are continuous during summer, and most of the country shuts down three weeks in July.

In Australia it is 4 weeks minimum (and 10 days for sick/carers leave). The leave accumulates if you don't take and have to be paid out as per your finally pay if you leave the company. Since it is a liability on balance sheet most companies will demand you to take leave if you have accumulated over 20 days. You can also ask to cash out any leave more than 20 days.
