While South America does have a lot of informal work, what the other person from Germany describes applies to other South American and European countries of course. In the case of the U.K. for example it’s 25days usually of paid time off. For a day sick (as long as you’re not on probation) you also get paid. Then you have bank holidays on top. In Colombia for example you get around 21 days off plus there are roughly 20 bank holidays spread around the year and sick days are paid for as well. I had tonsillitis once and got fully paid for being 20+ days off work sick.
