In France the legal minimum working per week is 35 hours. But many people (as me) make 39 hours/weeks.
The difference is paid 1.25 x per hours until 44 hours, and 1.5 x above. Or you can convert those extra-hours in vacations.
We have 5 paid vacations weeks per years.
What about you in your country?

wow that is wonderful. My husband works up to 60 hours a week. He sometimes works even more hours. He is exhausted most of the time but that is what it takes to pay the bills.

Sounds like your countries work plan is ideal. Good for you

Here in the US a work week is 40 hour week and any over time in most places is time and a half which really makes it worth working the overtime. You aren't forced to work the overtime because there is always someone that is wanting the overtime. When I worked at the hospital in california before i moved here. I had built up to where i had 5 weeks of vacation per year. I left there with 1200 hours of unused sick time.
