Why doesn't is sound like such a good deal? 17 holidays + 15 vacation
days = 32 days off. You said you get 30. Where's the discrepancy?
I'm not defending B&H against whatever charges they currently face but
the number of days off here is pretty generous for a *small* US company.

Thanks, Nathan. So the 17 days off doesn’t sound like such a good
deal, although I do understand that US companies tend to be much
stingier with their holiday allowance than those in Europe.

Chris, I think the difference is that the 17 days refer to public
holidays observed by B&H (I assume that standard US holidays such
as July 4 and Thanksgiving, plus Jewish holidays)--so those days
are days off but the dates are fixed. In contrast, the 3 weeks
vacation time is to be taken at the employee's discretion.
At our office, we have 18 holidays each year, mainly the standard
ones like Christmas, Easter etc., plus the Spanish ones, plus the
week between Christmas and New Year. In addition to that, I have
around 35 days of annual leave, to be taken when I want (obviously
in agreement with my boss).
Cheers, Nathan

That’s interesting, Mike. But what is the difference between
"17 paid days off annually" and "3-weeks paid vacation timeâ€
In my job I have 30 days paid leave available to me; my employer
does not discriminate between the one and the other.
