    Germany:
    depends on your age.

    usually you have 2 days/month @40hrs/week.
    so 12*2 = 24 days/year.

    part time workers @20hrs/week get then 12 days/year. additional days are fixed in the contract.

    if you start to work on july 1st, you will have worked 5 months until the end of the year - makes 5 months = 10 days. not taken days can be taken in the next year.

    beware: german law says you are not allowed to take your days when in your employment probation time, but most agencies will let you do.
