Is that 30 days per year?

That’s impressively generous.

It’s 10 (accumulating to 20) here in New Zealand and bereavement is an additional few days - the amount depends on your relationship to the deceased. All the above is paid at your usual rate.

I think you have misunderstood.

It's 30 days paid holiday per year. The legal minimum is 20-something is most EU countries, but professional jobs tend to have 25-35, depending on the country.

Sick leave is completely independent of that. If you're sick you don't work. If there's any doubt, you get a signed note from a doctor. If the sickness lasts a long time there are eventually other procedures, and after long enough you can lose your job if there's really no reasonable alternative.

The best part: if you're sick on vacation, you get those vacation days back as they're converted into sick days.

I had, and the comment was very clear.
