the standard is a total of 3 weeks leave (1 week sick leave, 2 weeks vacation) and it usually kicks in after 6 months of employment.

I worked at a large, nationwide consulting firm about 10 years ago that had a variable schedule depending on your overall experience and your time with that firm. I had a total of 4 weeks leave while there that I could use anyway I wanted.

Now I work for a very tiny firm and I am back to a total of 3 weeks.
