A six-month validity term is granted to the work visa usually. It is a National Visa and not valid across Europe, hence read the immigration laws carefully.

The maximum number of days you can stay in the Schengen area on a work visa is 90 days within every 180-day period. This 90/180 day rule applies to all 27 countries in the Schengen area, and the 180-day period is continuous. The precise length of validity of your visa is indicated on the visa sticker under the heading “Duration of visit”. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once.
