Minimum Holiday Entitlement

Question

Hi There,

I have just recieved my Contact Of Employment, which states i am only entilted to 24 day holiday including the 8 Statutory Bank Holidays.

Leaving me with only 16 days Paid Annual Leave.

Can anyone help me with this as i thought the minimum was 24 with the 8 Statutory Bank Holidays on top.

Please post any help or replies.

Thanks

Answer 1

You are right.  By Law the Bank Holidays are on top of the 24 PAID days holidays you are entitled to.

Answer 2

This would all depend on where you are.  Do you have a contract - union?  I don't believe in the US - there is any law that says you are entitled to any paid days off.

Answer 3

No that is correct

You will get 4 more days from April 2009 though.
