vacation days

Paid absence allowance

Vacation days are paid time off from work that employees accrue or receive as part of their compensation.

The term emphasizes the countable, bankable nature of this benefit: I have twelve vacation days left this year, She's saving her vacation days for a trip in December.

Workers track, request, and sometimes lose unused vacation days according to company policy.
