It is not specific to archaeology. I know small companies that make this mistake. I just thought people should be made aware.
Many people think bank holidays are statutary. Many people think that annual leave is worked out on 20 days. Some people think that companies lay people off at Chrstmas to avoid paying holiday pay but this won't effect your pro rata statutary entitlement. It may effect your holiday entitlement if, and only if your employer gives you extra days on top of the stat 28 days and your contract makes it clear that these days are not earned in the same way as annual leave.
Nothing to sort out. I'll sort it
Thanks
