vacation time

Days off work

Vacation time is the paid leave an employee accumulates or receives for rest and recreation.

Companies track it in hours or days: I have two weeks of vacation time left this year.

The term emphasizes time as a quantifiable benefit, distinct from the vacation itself: She's saving her vacation time for December.
