Annual leave is accrued at different rates depending on the country and employment specifics, but a common benchmark for full-time employees is accruing roughly 4 weeks of annual leave per year. This breaks down to an accrual of about 0.0767 weeks of annual leave per week worked, or approximately 2.923 hours of leave accrued per completed week of work for a standard 38-hour workweek. For example:

• In some places, annual leave accrual is calculated as 4 weeks per year, which translates to about 0.0767 weeks per week worked (4 weeks × 7 days ÷ 365 days).
• For employees with a 40-hour workweek, this means accruing around 3.07 hours of leave per week.
• In Australia, under the National Employment Standards, full-time employees accrue about 2.923 hours of annual leave per completed week of work based on a 38-hour week.
• In the Netherlands, the minimum annual leave is 4 times the number of hours worked per week. For example, a 40-hour workweek means 160 hours of annual leave per year, accruing proportionally weekly.

Therefore, the typical weekly accrual of annual leave for a full-time employee ranges around 2.9 to 3.1 hours per week, depending on jurisdiction and work hours.
