Holiday pay

I just found myself drawn to this, as I am to all such posts from the UK and I find it strange how many of you guys show an interest in driving in the USA or Canada, obviously not a large amount but then those who do are not ready to adjust to not having any holiday pay for a couple of years and even then they would only get one week per year for about 3 years, then 2 weeks until you have worked for the same company for 20 years. One of the things I really miss about the UK is having holidays.
