More time for meditation? Perhaps, as India records the highest number of minimum vacation time legally prescribed at 60 days. Denmark has 6 weeks, 5 days of which can be exchanged for pay, or “sold” back to the employer and France lets their workers off for a minimum of 5 weeks a year, with 2 weeks of reduced working time. Germany only prescribes 4 weeks but because they have a high number of bank holidays (9-13), their prescribed vacation days are counted at 36 days. The lowest minimum vacation days prescribed by law are shared by Taiwan, Mexico and Singapore at seven days a year.
