I have 6 weeks per year of vacation, with pay πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

I just get paid my normal salary plus 12.5%

Yes, i get more when i take my vacation

If i worked 9 months in a company and quit, i would get it as β€œferiepenge” where i can request the money online when i note which days i am taking off.

Not the same user, but it's pay for me, not feriepenge

People in Norway say they have paid vacation, but it's really a forced savings scheme coming out of your paycheck every month. That's why I'm suspicious. Anyway, that's great for you. Denmark is probably the superior Scandinavian nation

What's the difference, in the end? Are wages after accounting for this worse for Norwegians than Danes? At the end of the day any mandatory paid holiday system means the employee does less work so is less valuable to the employer (benefits of returning refreshed notwithstanding - in any case all these effects should be the same regardless of what financial rules govern it) so the employer might want to pay them less in total.

But this should reach an equilibrium where the cost to the employer is similar for similar amounts of labour, resulting in similar pay.

Is this the minimum required, or just common?

We have 4 weeks annual leave (not including sick leave and public holidays) and I reckon it's not enough πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

Probably because our union movement has been crushed by years of hostile governments and right wing media monopoly.
