    If you state they are entitled to 28 days which includes bank holidays you are fine surely. You are specifying that they must take a day off holiday on BH's so next year they would take the 9 BH's and have 19 left to take when they like. 5.6 weeks is much easier to have in your contracts and then specify that BH is a normal working day.

    Luckily I worded our contracts correctly if we didnt it would cost £42,000.00 for the one day extra!

    I am sure you probably already know but I would definately get your contracts written out because as soon as someone takes you to a tribunal over anything they can add the lack of written contracts as an extra and get 4 weeks wages as compensation.

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    4 people on the ignore list....Bliss!
