Does anyone know where I can find full info on this?

Done a search on google but mainly discussions and the info seems to vary between sites. So far I've found..

* From 1st Oct 07 new law in place where full time workers get a min 24 days paid annual leave EXCLUDING bank holidays

* From Oct 08 / Apr 09??? (different sites say different dates) - this will increase to 28 days

Can anyone confirm the actual law on this please? My girlfriend works in a private nursery and currently only gets 20 days paid annual leave - I would like to be able to provide printed proof she should now get 24 days - I am also looking forward to getting the 28 at some point

Cheers

 

Does she get paid for her bank holidays ??

 

It is including public holidays.

Holiday entitlements: introduction : Directgov - Employment

 

Know how much holiday to give your staff
Public and bank holidays
In the UK, public holidays include bank holidays (when banks may close for business), common law holidays and holidays by royal announcement.

When the Christmas and New Year public holidays fall at a weekend, other week days are declared public holidays.

Paid time off does not legally have to be given for public holidays, and if it is it can be included in your workers' minimum leave entitlement.

Part-time workers have the same entitlement to leave as full-time workers, so if full-time workers are given paid leave for bank holidays, part-time workers should also be granted payment on a pro rata basis.

Since 1 October 2007, a change in the law has added a maximum of eight days (pro rata for part-time workers) to the minimum leave entitlement, to include the current number of bank and public holidays.

Use our interactive tool to calculate your employee's annual leave entitlement.

The minimum annual leave entitlement has increased to 4.8 weeks (24 days if you work a five-day week) since 1 October 2007. This will rise to 5.6 weeks (28 days if you work a five-day week) on 1 April 2009, subject to a maximum statuatory entitlement of 28 days. Whether or not this additional leave is taken on a bank holiday is up to individual employers to agree with their workers

cheers all - shame it includes bank holidays otherwise she could have claimed another 4 days hols

 

Sue me .................















on second thoughts ...SORRY

 

Another quick question...

can an employer make you use your holiday entitlement if the choose to close?

 

24 days including bank holidays is an utter disgrace!!

I have just been allocated my leave for 2008 - 42.5 days + 26 days FlexiLeave + Bank Holidays and I think I'm hard done by!!

I am shocked!

 

I get 28 Days including bank holidays,the thing is we close for approx 2 weeks at christmas,so 8/10 days are taken off that

 

Depends whether its in your contract

We close for Christmas so we have a clause that says " enough holiday must be retained to cover the Christmas close down, You will be advised in writing of the number of days required on or before 31st January each year"

 

Infracted for stating a fact?

Would the Infractor have the ***** to explain themselves?

 

I looked at that ,they wont explain themselves,they never do

 

Shameful

 

Agreed

 

Take it to Webby and ask what it was for and that it be removed.
