Netherlands hete

. Sick leave, unlimited (first 2 days are at your expense, the rest is payed in some degree).

. Pto (zorgverlof, care time) so you can take care of your kid, yourself, mom, whatever, unlimited but it's either unpayed or you use vacation days for that. Can not be refused by boss.

.Vacation days, minimum of 22 (some jobs get 37 by law) to be spent on pto, vacation, a day to the zoo, whatever.

.Overtime (if your boss agrees) is turned into either more vacation days or payed at 100% or more. Very subject to the type of job.

There is A LOT of information on this, and this barely scratches the surface, but this is what you can expect here
