UK holiday entitlement?

Question

Are we now entitled to 5 weeks paid holiday and if so when was this brought into force?

Answer 1

As from 1st October 2007 EVERY full time employee is allowed 24 working days plus the 8 Bank Holidays.

Then 1st October 2009 every full time employee will be allowed 28 working days plus the 8 Bamk Holidays.

Answer 2

I am entitled to 31 or 32 days holiday, it depends if you are 9-5 or shift work.

Answer 3

Not quiet 5 weeks but...

From 1 October 2007 all workers have a statutory right to at least 4.8 weeks paid annual leave (that's 24 days paid holiday if you work five days a week)
