Default Holiday leave

Hello

I'm new to the US, so not familiar with many aspects of employment here.

I wondered if anyone could shed some light on how much holiday entitlement someone working as a line cook would receive, ideally in fine dining.

Any information would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Rich

If you're talking about paid leave, it can range from none at all to 3 weeks. The places that do offer it, base the amount on length of employment, ie after 6 months or after a year of full-time employment , you get 1 week paid leave, after 5 you get 2 weeks. Some places mix sick leave and vacation leave into one lump amount and just call it paid time off (PTO).
