The point is minimum wage workers are often not working 40 hours at any one job to begin with.

Paid vacation days are accumulated by time worked.

If they work only 20 hours a week they will be entitled to half of the yearly paid vacations that a full-time worker is entitled to.

It's a little bit more complex than that because local laws in Europe differ about how many hours each person needs to work continually to accumulate a portion of a day off, but the principal is generally correct.
