Only 26 Days Holiday?

you are right, urk, doh! I was just doing some quick working out in my head to try and explain to the OP that they don't work as many days a year as a 5 day a week person.
But 26.5 days is still correct for them.
They don't have to round up either so could give exact time
so that would be 26 days + 0.1 of a day 1.2hours 72 mins and 1/3 of 0.1 24mins.
so 26 days 1hr 36mins
The OP says they do extra shifts, they could ask for them to acrue holidays as well.0 -
I think there is some confusion. The government say that it is 5.2 working weeks; not compulsory 28 days.
For example - someone who works a 4 on 4 off shift pattern technically works only 6 months of the year, so they would not be entitled to the same amount of holiday as someone who works 5 on 2 off.
I agree with the 26.2 days cited in an earlier post, but they should have really rounded it up to 26.5 so that you are not disadvantaged.2022 Target - Reduce new mortgage balance after house move - Part 1 (Ported) Starting balance £39,982.12 currently £37,242.19 Part 2 Starting Balance £101,997.88 currently £96,197.38 (as at 19/04/2022)0 -
Do you really want to work for an employer that one provides the bare minimum as required by law? You may not have a choice right now, but I know i'd be looking to work for a company that actually values its employees.
Yeah, it's annoying... I work a normal 5-day week but only get the statutory minimum. I hate it - I used to get sooo much more in my last job! But this one is more fun so I put up with it.
Our problem is we're owned by a US firm - over there they think 10 days a year is generous :eek:Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0 -
