In UK I have 35 days minimum but can agree up to 45. Then there's all the public holidays, etc.

But in truth I never book official holidays as I work in a small team that's sales focused - so we can take off pretty much what we like to long as our team achieves it's targets (something the recession has been making a lot tougher...).

I'd guess I normally take around 40 days on average plus the public holidays.

Interesting to note Kow's reply. Everyone I know with their own business tends to take less holidays that those of us employed by others... guess when it's your own company you want to make sure things are going well and no doubt it's harder to disappear for 3 weeks trusting all is ticking over nicely.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
