In Austria, vacation days expire two years after the end of the vacation year in which they were created. So you can save up vacation days, but not all of them for four years. You can do things like: go on only two weeks of vacation in year 1, then eight weeks in year 2.
Jobs for my state’s state government, for example, You get an hour of time off for every so many hours worked and they accumulate and are retained indefinitely up to a cap.
To be fair, 240 hours divided by an 8 hour work day is 30 days. That’s pretty good amount of time that can roll over. Where I live it isn’t measured in hours but there is less time that can roll over than 30 days.
Where dafuq it stacks? AFAIK in most of the world it is either paid out in the end of the year or is wasted and goes nowhere.

In France, companies can choose if they stack or not, but you’re usually forced to take them after a certain amount has accumulated.
Employed in the US, I can stack up to 240 hours. After that it’s use it or lose it, so I just take a few hours off every week.
I can carry a max of four days to the next year, but the system doesn’t track it so it’s an “honor” system
which basically means leverage to fire you over it if they even need a reason
the US labor rights are so bad they have to measure time off in hours 😭

I also fully recognize that I have a fairly generous employer. I don’t think my experience is representative of most Americans.
