Holidays and other benefits
Ok i'm clear on how much is a good offer as base salary at my level, and I know about the free flight, healthcare and dental, but is there a standard amount of holiday that I should be offered? is this negotiable? only asking as a friend of mine said that the employment law is 20 days and its usually non-negotiable.
apart from housing is there anything else i should be looking at getting as part of the deal without over-stretching my worth?
PS; don't have kids so won't need a school package.

Its actually 30 days and this is in the law. This doesn't stop employers from trying to give less as mine does.

The 30 day allowance includes public holidays.

i'd better let my friend know as she's only getting 20 and doesn't get most public holidays off 
the 20 day holiday thing almost killed off my dreams just then.
