I can carry a max of four days to the next year, but the system doesn’t track it so it’s an “honor” system
which basically means leverage to fire you over it if they even need a reason

the US labor rights are so bad they have to measure time off in hours 😭

Genuine ignorance and curiosity - do y’all only do days? If you have to take half a day off, do you round up or down?

Hungary here. Can’t remember the exact wording of the law, but most employers only give out full days. My previous job, where I did rotating night shifts, counted the days that coincided with the start of the shift: if I had a paid day off on a Tuesday on a night shift week, I’d work from Monday 22:00 to Tuesday 6:00, stay at home on Tuesday, and start my next shift on Wednesday at 22:00 (just a hypothetical, I always tried to take full weeks).

To be fair, 240 hours divided by an 8 hour work day is 30 days. That’s pretty good amount of time that can roll over. Where I live it isn’t measured in hours but there is less time that can roll over than 30 days.

I also fully recognize that I have a fairly generous employer. I don’t think my experience is representative of most Americans.

The hours makes sense for a lot of companies that have shift work, because different employees have differing amounts of hours in their workday. Plus, my old place of work would let you use a few hours at a time, so if you wanted you could have off every friday afternoon.
