At a new job (in the US) I get:
19 a year, no sick time. At 5 years I’ll have 24 a year At 10 years I’ll have 27 a year

5 - 10 years at the employer or overall? In Poland it’s 20 days that turns into 26 after seniority. University counts as 7 years regardless of the length of your studies, I went for three and started working during my second year. I got 26 days almost immediately.

At the employer, there’s absolutely nothing that guarantees PTO on a legal basis. Most part-time employees don’t even get PTO, at best they can ask for unpaid time off.

There’s also federally mandated FML and disability, but neither are required to be paid.

Yeah, then that’s awful. Here it depends on the type of agreement you have with the employer and the regulations you are under. For instance, the regular work agreement means 20 days minimum a year, 26 after a certain period - 10 years working overall. College counts for a lot, as does highschool. You can get 26 days a year after I think 2 years of work anywhere total after going to uni.
There are simpler agreements which are favoured by students. The regular work agreement requires you to pay for your social insurance for instance. Students already have that covered for free when enrolled at a uni, so they get a simpler agreement that doesn’t make you do that. So they get more money. Time off there isn’t mandated, but most employers give you the same amount as an employee that has the 10 years covered. They want to keep students enrolled so they stay at a company after training them up. There is also a limit for how long you can have the simpler working agreement, so you aren’t exploited by an employer that doesn’t want you to move to the regular agreement or something.
Some employers don’t care about the time off as long as tasks are done. So you get unlimited paid time off. Obviously even if you don’t have unlimited paid leave, you can go on unpaid whenever you want.
