vacation day

Paid time off

A vacation day is a day of paid leave from work, part of an employee's benefits package.

Workers accrue vacation days over time and use them for travel, rest, or personal matters: I'm taking a vacation day on Friday.

The term distinguishes from sick days or personal days, though all may draw from the same pool of paid time off.
