Employer with a grudge

All employees taken on for one month or more are entitled by law to be given, within two months of the date the employment starts, a written statement setting out the main particulars. This statement will not necessarily cover every aspect of the contract, but will constitute important evidence of the principal terms and conditions. Further information about the right to a written statement can be found in Written Statement of Employment Particulars (PL700).

A witten statement is not a contract...the previous poster was specific in reference to a contract.


From the same source....''The contract need not be in writing...''

Ok, so this is the way i've interpreted the above info, If a F/T person gets 20 days hols a year and is given paid bank holidays = 25 days holiday - the P/T staff should receive the equivalent???

I'm on a 6 month temporary contract. I've been given 15 days holiday to which i must deduct any bank holidays that fall within that period. So in effect i've got 10 days hols.

How does the law work with this one?

I think there are 8 bank holidays a year (New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Early and Late May BHs, August BH, Christmas Day and Boxing Day).

Half of 20 is 10. Half of 8 is 4. That makes 14 days, you've got 15, you're up a day, keep quiet and be grateful!
