Agree with TiHabanaro.

Basically the employer decides what to provide for paid time off to employees. Most employers that want to have a stable workforce will offer some of the US Govt recognized holidays as paid time off. And most employers will offer some paid time off for illness. Most employers offer some paid time off for vacation. Vast majority of employers have a specific list of benefits for all employees, if a job applicant feels that is not good enough, that applicant is free to withdraw their application. A small number of employers may have a couple of plans that differ for different classifications of employees, such employers often have a large number of employees in an occupation(s) that often have collective bargaining agreements.

Before I retired, I never took a vacation longer than one week and adjacent weekends. But for a while I did work for an employer that allowed more consecutive paid time off, I could have had several consecutive weeks if I managed to plan far enough ahead for that.
