In some countries, employees are generally given two weeks of paid vacation time each year. In other countries, employees are given four or six weeks of paid vacation time. Considering the needs of both employee and employer, what do you think is a reasonable amount of paid vacation time for employees to have?

I believe that two weeks of annual

vacation

time

is a good amount for a

company

to offer

employees

, at least when they are

first

hired. There are several reasons

in the future can act as an incentive to the

employee

. When an

employee

uses paid

, he or she is not contributing to the

company

but is still being paid.

This

means the

employer

is paying out money without getting

work

in return. The shorter the

. Of course, we could say that the cost to the

is repaid when the

employee

returns from

rested and with renewed energy. For longer vacations,

however

, the loss of

work

is probably greater than the benefit to be gained when the

employee

returns with greater energy. Of course, something like

this

is difficult to measure, and each

employer

must evaluate his or her own particular situation. An

his or her

does not. Other people must carry out the worker's responsibilities while he or she is away. In many cases, companies hire temporary workers to cover for

employees

who are on

vacation

.

This

is an extra expense and an inconvenience. The longer the

vacation

, the greater the disruption to the normal

work

routine. At many companies,

employees

are offered more

vacation

time

after they have worked there for a certain amount of

time

.

This

benefit can be an incentive, encouraging

employees

to do well in their positions and remain at the

company

. Generally, I feel that all new

employees

should be given two weeks of annual

vacation

time

initially

, with the possibility of earning more after working with the

company

for some

time

. I think a system like

this

is fair to both the

employer

and the

employee

.
