Holidays

Employees who work a five day week are entitled to 28 days paid holiday a year. This can include bank holidays (usually eight per year) as long as your employee is paid for those days. This entitlement accrues to both agency and casual workers though not the self employed. Employees must take four weeks holiday (including bank holidays) per year and may not carry it forward.

In the absence of written guidelines your leave year should start on 1st October for all employees who started working for you on or after 1st October 1998 and on their date of commencement otherwise.
