English term or phrase: 3 months in country and 1 month out vacation
You will be entitled 3 (three) months in country and 1 (one) month out vacation per annum.
Does it say that "per each 3 months of work to be given 1 month of vacation"?

or

Total 4 months of vacation 3 months in country and one month out of the country?

Thanks for your helps in advance.

1 month leave with tickets to leave the country + 3 months leave without tickets
Explanation:
That is what it looks like to me. 4 months leave sounds incredible; what is the job and how do I apply?

I don't see how somebody can be given leave and told they mustn't leave the country, so, logically they are simply not being given any help with leaving for the 3 months of leave.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Sheila Wilson: The text also implies more than one trip abroad is possible they seem terribly free with both time and money - I really can't see it!
4 hrs
agree  Deborah Workman: It most certainly does sound like 4 months of paid leave, 3 in country and 1 out with the option to extend beyond 1 abroad. RT included in any case. Is the job so awful or low-paying that the enticement has to be 4 months' leave?

a choice of entitlements


Explanation:
Due to the additional text, I have deleted the previous answer.

They are offering 3 months of holidays in the country, Ie; stay at home your cost, or 4 weeks holidays out of the country at their expanse.
But you can only take the accumulated amount of holidays once during the course of a single year. You can choose either one or the other.

I would rewrite it like this:

Your yearly vacation entitlements are either:

A/ Three months vacation, either continuous or in accumulative portions (subject to the Companies Country Managers approval) in country.

B/ Four weeks* out of country vacation, either continuous or in portions (subject to the Companies Country Managers approval) , Economy airfares included. Your economy tickets will be paid by Company for your approved vacations.

* Some months have 5 weeks.

Must be a great job, where do I apply?
