However here is the law on the matter.
my suggestion is to work for the company that gives the best benefits package (and conditions ) as you can see, it is up to them whether they include or exclude the holidays......
A worker is entitled to four weeks annual paid leave. Part-time workers are entitled to the same holidays as their full-time colleagues, calculated on a pro-rata basis. Employers may offer better contractual provisions; check your contract, statement of particulars or company handbook for details
Example:
A full-time person working 5 days a week is entitled to 5 days x 4 = 20 days.
A part-timer working two days a week is entitled to 2 days x 4 = 8 days.
A person working 15 hours a week is entitled to 15 hours x 4 = 60 hours per leave year.
There is no statutory entitlement to paid public holidays so an employer may include the public holidays in your four-week entitlement. Where a worker joins during the leave year they will be entitled a proportionate amount of annual paid leave. For example, a worker joining six months during the year will be entitled to two weeks annual paid leave.
Are public holidays counted towards the entitlement?...........
There is no statutory right to paid public holidays, so employers may include these holidays in the four weeks annual paid leave.
Another day another WSI?
