Annual leave的意思

"Annual leave" is a term used in many countries to refer to paid vacation time that an employee is entitled to each year. It is typically granted to employees as a right or benefit by their employer, and the amount of annual leave an employee is entitled to can vary depending on factors such as the employee's length of service, job role, and the company's policies.

Annual leave is usually taken in blocks of time, such as a week or two weeks, and is used for rest, relaxation, or personal reasons. It is different from sick leave, public holidays, or other types of leave, and employees are often required to give notice to their employer if they wish to take annual leave.

The term "annual leave" is commonly used in the United Kingdom, Australia, and other Commonwealth countries, as well as in some other parts of the world. In the United States, the term "paid time off" (PTO) is often used to refer to a combination of vacation time, sick leave, and personal days, although the specifics can vary by employer.
