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?

Determining
employees
' holiday
weeks
is always a leading conflict between companies and
workers
.
Employees
need longer paid vacations to increase
work
efficiency
.
However
, from the
company
's point of view, prolonged leisure time can
also
damage
other
employees
, and leaving them on
vacation
for a long time can
also
cause
damage
. I agree that the
company
should give
employees
four to six
weeks
off. In a
company
, it is important to share their
work
parts with other
employees
.
Nevertheless
, if someone doesn't
work
for six
weeks
,
this
can
damage
other
employees
. Other
workers
have more
work
to do.
Also
, other
employees
cannot
work
for you
instead
of those on
vacation
. The
company
must pay a lot of money to
employees
because the six-week paid
vacation
is too long.
Therefore
, a two-week paid
vacation
is suitable for
employees
.
By contrast
,
employees
need long-term paid
vacation
for
work
efficiency
.
For example
, I worked for the
company
for two years. They gave me five
weeks
of paid
vacation
, so I travelled to Japan for four
weeks
. I learned about Japanese culture and how Japanese people
work
for their companies. After returning to the
company
, I could feel that the stress of
work
disappeared, and
work
efficiency
improved. When
workers
'
work
efficiency
improved, the
company
can
also
benefit more from
employees
' workability. It is true that one's spare workspace can
damage
other
workers
and the
company
.
However
, to increase the
efficiency
of the
work
, the
company
must give
employees
six
weeks
of paid
vacation
.
