Re: How many days holiday a year do you get?

Apparently the UK entitlemant is now 28 days (but some of these may be used for Bank Holidays)

96 hours which is the equivalent of 6.8 weeks for me. Plus any time that is worked over and not specifically over time is added up an can be taken as Time Off In Lieu.

Re: How many days holiday a year do you get?

Our holidays are flexible with the basic entitlement being 25, the minimum allowed is 20 and the maximum is 35 bank holidays are in addition to these.

I take 30 days plus bank holidays.

Re: How many days holiday a year do you get?

25 days + bank holidays. Allowed to carry 5 each year or "sell" them back. Not sure if that applies to all 5 though, I always use them up.

Unfortunately it's an entitlement to some people who ruin it for the rest eh?! Our sickness policy now puts you on a warning if you have 3 episodes or 10 days in total within a 12 month period - can't say I blame them

Re: How many days holiday a year do you get?

25 days plus whatever bank holidays come along.

Often do a lot of travelling so I'm entitled to take any travel time over my contracted hours as time in lieu.

That's quite good, my oh's company don't do the same even though he often flies out on Sunday night or Monday morning (very early!) returning late on Friday night. Sometimes it's barely enough time to get the washing dry before he's off again!
