Hey, My first job ever and wondering how vacation times work
If i normally have 2 days off /week, does 14 day vacation mean 3weeks? Or does the normal days off count as vacation days aswell? Making it only 2weeks?

14 vacation days refers to working days at most companies, so nearly 3 weeks, yes.
But you should ask your HR department, because who knows what may be different at your company.
As an aside, 14 days/year is awesome for a first job, at least in the US. I had to work at my company 5 years before they gave me 15 days/year. Before that I had 10.

14 vacation days mean 14 days you can take vacation on the days you would normally work.
I don't know if you're counting sun/sat as your days off, or it's 2 days off during the normal work week of mon-fri. If it's 2 days off from mon-fri, then you work 3 days a week, which means you could use 3 days of vacation and be off the entire week.
Like others have said, it's 5 days for a week.. 5 days vacation plus your normal 2 days off.. Which would mean you have 2 weeks and 4 days. or 112 hours.
This is how it NORMALLY works. But check with your company to be sure that by 14 days they don't just mean 2 weeks (inclusive of your normal 2 days off). It really depends on how they do their payroll.
I have 24, wanted too save all for WoD but fk can't wait 3 more months.. So wanna take 14 now and 10 later
I think it varies, I know plenty of people who have done internships, usually at offices and so on and they didn't get paid jack. But they needed it as part of their curriculum. They get paid in the work experience. Which I guess can help at the end or turn into a full time job when they graduate. Personally it's all a scam lol.
Yea, would be nice.. In US the norm starting vaca times is 10 days.. I'm happy I have 10 days vaca and 10 days PTO (days I can use as vaca or sick days) and I never take sick days, so it's like 20 days vaca...

Oh didn't know that. So then I would be about the same.
I get 15 a year not including stat holidays, which isn't too bad, not been here that long. I think I get another 5 next year added on. Gives me a chance to go somewhere for a couple weeks, then I can shotgun the rest over xmas and get like 2 weeks off there too.
