That's the idea, the job doesn't matter, only how much you work (half-time, full-time, 4/5, 9/10, ...).

Here in Belgium, for me, full-time is 38 hours. Because 40 hours is easier, that means I get 20 vacation days + 12 days for compensate for the 2 hour surplus each week.

Then there's a few extra days, like when a holiday falls in the weekend, you're allowed to move it.

There's a lot more, but they often require special conditions. You can get days off for education. When you're fired or leaving the job, you can get days off when applying for a new job. There's days when you're getting (or adopting) a baby.
