Alan Grayson, a florida Democrat will introduce the Paid Vacation Act — legislation that would be the first to make paid vacation time a requirement under federal law. In most countries in Europe they have a law that gives them 30 days off. A week off here in the US is a good start. Americans are the hardest workers in the world. We are also the most stressed out which leads to health problems. We need this.

The bill would require companies with more than 100 employees to offer a week of paid vacation for both full-time and part-time employees after they’ve put in a year on the job. Three years after the effective date of the law, those same companies would be required to provide two weeks of paid vacation, and companies with 50 or more employees would have to provide one week.
