When i go back to work in Sept 2012 I will have 18 days holiday to take before 31st Dec - Plus I'll have BH's - Xmas Day and Boxing Day

I will use 0.5 day's holiday for the day AFTER boxing day leaving me with 17.5 days to take from Sept - Dec.

Boss hasnt said how many he wants me to carry over - Just that he doesnt want me taking all the hols between sept and dec.

Best you find out, so you can decide if it is a problem or not.

If you had been working you would have spread them out so would not be taking 18 days, you must have an idea how many do you want to take.

I loved cary over it gave me more flexability the following year.

I usually like to carry over 2/3 and these have to be taken within the first 3 months of the following year.

I think he wants me to carry over 8-10 but I dont really want to

OK full timers get 30+8 bh

You should get (working 2.5days) 1/2 that so 19 days including BH.

The policy says you should get 15 + BH ( but that could be under the statutory)

You seem to get 18 + any BH that fall on a work day(that will always be over prorata)

Back to the carry over.

How far apart are you on how much to carry over.

I think you could try for taking all your statutory 14 inc BH that would leave 4-6 depending on the Xmas/Boxing day to cary over.

I think the employer could try for just the 20 day prorata, so 10 leaving 8-10 to cary over.

As I said the best you could go for is 6 since that meets the statutory obligation, if they know there stuff they could go for 10

Time to ask the real number and negotiate

Remember this is a long way off so really is too early for it to be set in stone.

Also as I said very early on you have the "take more maternity leave" card you can still play.
