[Werk/Law] Holiday Entitlement

[dancefloorlandmine]

New legislation coming into force on 1st October 2007 increases the holiday rights for those working a five day week to 24 days a year. Which means that I will get another day a year, as I get 20 days and an additional three between Christmas and New Year which don't count as part of our allocation, but would probably be included.

Additionally, from April 2009, the statutory allowance will be 28 days.

Meanwhile, I'm also trying to push for an additional day per year of service. This may have something to do with the fact that I'm one of the longest-serving members of staff ...

Ah, that includes bank holidays, technically...

We currently get 25 days per year, plus every four years we get an additional 4-week (i.e. 20 work-days) sabbatical which can be taken as a 4-week chunk or as two 2-week chunks any time within a 2 year period... So in effect an average of 30 days per year. Plus Bank Holidays of course. :-)

Does this mean that as I get 20 days leave plus the Bank Holidays, I will now get, say, 22 plus the bank holidays? Colour me confused. As usual.

Still, I think that any additional time off is good. Too bad we don't get near the amount in the States.

That is, after all, the traditional reward/loyalty bonus for working in those areas where the remuneration is otherwise not the best (ie Civil Service)
