You have this right from your first day of employment. However, this does not mean you can take four weeksâ paid leave on your first day of work. The law says how your paid holiday builds up in your first year of work.
The amount of leave you can take builds up monthly in advance at the rate of one twelfth of your yearly leave each month. If this does not give you an exact number of days leave, your leave is rounded up to the nearest half day. Your employer will deduct any leave you have already taken from the leave you have built up.
For example, if you work full time and have worked for three months, you will have built up five days' leave. Your annual leave is four weeks x five days = 20 days. Your leave after three months is three twelfths of this, because you have worked for three of the twelve months in the year. Three twelfths of 20 is five, so you have built up five days' annual leave.
Some employers and employment agencies may say that your hourly rate of pay includes an amount for holiday pay, and that they expect you to save this part of your pay to cover your holidays. This is known as 'rolled up' holiday pay.
Rolled up holiday pay is against the law.
Thats the basics
hers the BAJR bit
and you can find it
Here:
When adding a job you are told "20 days annual leave EXCLUDING statutory holidays"
In the pdf distributed to every contractor -
Holidays
For each month worked the employee is entitled to 1.666667 days holiday⦠in addition, they also receive any bank & public holidays that fall into the employment period. If it is not possible to take any of these holidays during short contracts, the time in lieu is paid at full rate.
So as I said.... not sure... and now I have had to look (which i should ahev done in the first place - but I am sucha lazy sod!)
So there are plenty places on BAJR - where you can find out what the requirements are...
jsut had this email from a client - who realised that they had not done the holiday bit as per required... and did not want to be seen as 'evil employer' so they found it...
So... please... I apologise for being lazy ...
as you can see... VoR has nothing to fear... as thats what I have already said... and Dr Pete .. I will have to work on makingit all more accesible.. and I hope one day... not having to have any requirements at all... let market forces sort the wheat from the chaff of employers
- can I go to sleep now!
pps... a new revamped BAJR is coming... soon after I finish the Past Horizons site.
