Do big 4 in Europe give time off between Christmas and NYE? OR you must use it from your PTO?

At KMPG UK I believe we were required to use 2 or 3 (can’t remember which) vacation days then. And the rest the firm gives as a paid holiday.

I know KPMG Netherlands is optional for time off during that period - and if you do, it’s PTO.

I think (I should probably check) that Deloitte U.K. force you to take the period between Christmas and NYE off as PTO so you need to save 3 days of your holiday for it. However they do usually give you ‘Deloitte Day’ which is a day off just before Christmas as a free day off.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭
