In certain professions, employees can look forward to a particularly large number of vacation days.
A study shows where you get the most days off.
Summer, sun, sunshine - this is what most Germans dream of when it comes to planning their vacation.
The more vacation days working people have available for this, the better.
According to the Federal Holiday Act, all employees with a 5-day week in Germany have a holiday entitlement of at least 20 days per year *.
Usually, however, more vacation days are contractually agreed.
Most of the vacation days are in these professions
As a study by the
Salary.de
portal
shows, the vacation days actually differ enormously between individual professions.
Branch managers of banks
, chief physicians and resident physicians as well as pharmaceutical representatives
receive an
average of
at least 30 vacation days per year
.
job | Average Vacation days per year |
Branch manager (bank) | 30.4 |
Chief physician, resident physician | 30.3 |
Pharmaceutical representative | 30th |

That way you can get more vacation days
"The number of vacation days depends primarily on the choice of profession and industry, professional experience and the size of the company," summarizes Dr.
Korbinian Nagel, labor
economist
at
Salary.de
, summarized the study results.
If you want to get more vacation days, you should tend to
look for a larger employer
and be open to the industry.
If you don't want to change, there is at least a little consolation left: The vacation days also increase with increasing professional experience.
Have you already planned your vacation days for the next year?
