Question: |
Do employees have the right to take bank holidays as paid leave on top of their normal paid
holiday? |
|
|
|
|
Answer: |
The Working Time Regulations (as amended) provide that workers
are entitled to 5.6 weeks paid leaver per annum. For someone working 5 days a
week, that equates to 28 days leave per annum. This right is inclusive of
public holidays, not in addition to it. Many employment contracts for full timers will state that
holiday entitlement is 20 days plus 8 public holidays; and this reflects the
current statutory entitlement. Last reviewed: July 2010. |
