What it means
The minimum paid vacation days an employee is entitled to by law — 20 days for a five-day work week — though most employers offer more, commonly 25–30.
In practice
Confirm your Urlaubsanspruch in writing; job ads sometimes advertise "30 days" without specifying whether that includes public holidays.
