Well, some jobs don't offer that and other things, but it depends on the job. I don't think a long-term perm temp worker would get something like that. There'd probably be a loophole to get out of giving it, as well as health insurance or any other real benefits (like sick leave or vacation). It's more like, "I hope I don't get pregnant, I hope I don't get sick, and I hope I can last until an actual holiday and not have to take a vacation." I'm only speaking from a US POV, though.
