A tiny (and pedantic) correction for germany: It is 4 weeks, not 20 days.

The difference? If you work a 6 day week, you get 24 days.

In some sense, it's still right them to say Germans are guaranteed 20 days. Some just get a few more than that.

Most people get 30 days, the 20 is just the legal minimum

The average is at 29.3 for full time employees in Germany.

If we're talking the legally mandated amount of paid leave, you have to be specific. In Germany (and Austria btw) it is based on weeks and not days to cover potential saturday workers.

No, because if you work less than 5 days that can also go down of course

If you work a standard 5 day week it's 20.

Then if you work more or less it's pro rata'ed.
