Depends on the country. I officially get 33 days off at work, which includes public holidays; if I wanted to, I could probably negotiate to have those become part of my standard PTO, especially if it meant they had someone who could reliably run support during public holidays.

If it’s not standard PTO, then what is it? We talked here about standard PTO.
