Glanced at the model and didn't see holidays broken out separately.
Most tech companies give most Federal holidays off, maybe 10 paid Federal holidays which means that 4.5 weeks of "vacation" is actually 2.5 weeks of PTO. 2-3 weeks of PTO is common in tech and across most professional roles after a few years with a company.

I assume from 10d changing 2.5->4.5 that whenever you say 'weeks' you mean 5-day working weeks? So 2-3 weeks = 10-15 days and that's 'after a few years with a company'?!

Depends on the company and on what you negotiate.
It should be standard.
I figure that every one of my reports is going to be out for five weeks over the year and and plan accordingly.

In Scandinavian countries, the minimum (by law) is 20 to 25 days of paid time off per year. That's on top of public holidays. I must say my vacations feel highly realistic

That's true for the entire EU too. The minimum is 20, or slightly above that.

Pretty common in Germany are 30 days.

#10I agree that capacity planning is essential in almost all cases, but you don't want a macro-enabled document for this.
You want a database that is connected to approval processes, auditing, pay stubs, people's calendars, etc.
