    Yes.

    The stat min is based on a working week of 5 days. Workers who do more or less than 5 days get a pro rated increase or reduction, unless the concept is lost on the employer, in which case you have won a watch.

    Workers who do more than 5 days per week do not get an increase. They get 28 days like everyone else, unless they are part-time, and I wasn't talking about part-time workers which is why I said full-time workers.

    In the organisations i deal with, they do. Not everyone is subject to receiving stat minimum.

    Neither was i, not sure why you've referred to PT workers as many full time workers complete their contracted hours by working longer shifts over fewer days/ nights.

    Take an employee working 37.5 hrs over 3 days (o/p works 3.5 day week), that person should see their a/l entitlement reduced to reflect this, vice versa for an employee working more than 5 days should see a corresponding pro-rata increase.
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.

I never said they did - I said right at the start that contractyual agreements could increase this but 28 days is the statutory minimum. Very few of the employees I deal with get the staturoty minimum either, but it does not mean it doesn't exist.

    vice versa for an employee working more than 5 days should see a corresponding pro-rata increase.

    But the point is that they do not. The statutory minimum does not increase because you work six and not five days.
