At the end of the day, in answer to the OP, without each poster going into their individual cases:

By law you have no right to carry it over, unless you have been on sick or maternity leave, which has prevented you using up your allocated leave.

Apart from that it is up to the individual employer.

With the employers permission you are legally allowed to carry over upto a maximum 1.6 weeks of your basic entitlement.

10 days automatically carried forward, but you can carry more if necessary,although you have to discuss this with your manager. If you do carry over, you're also encouraged to get this down to manageable levels as soon as possible. We're also allowed to carry the equivalent of just over two weeks worth of flexitime.

With the employers permission, you can carry as much as you like.

Sorry but thats wrong, by law you can only carry over a maximum of 1.6 weeks of your 5.6 weeks. If you have enhanced holidays then you can carry over more.;)

Where on earth did you get that from???

To start with there is no law saying that you should get 5.6 weeks. And there certainly isn't one saying that you can only carry over 1.6 weeks. What you carry over is up to your employer.

From the directgov website......

You do not have an automatic right to carry leave over. Of your 5.6 weeks entitlement, you must take the first four weeks of the leave, in the year that it is allocated. You can only carry forward the additional 1.6 weeks' leave if it remains untaken, with your employers permission or if it allowed by your employment contract.
If you have a leave entitlement more generous then the statutory minimum, your employer may allow you to carry over any of this additional entitlement if it remains untaken. However, this should be set out in your contract of employment.

No? I thought this was law since they say legal on direct gov.

The legal minimum holiday entitlement you are entitled to is 5.6 weeks, which can include bank and public holidays.

Most jobs give 4 weeks, plus bank holidays. But some give less than that.

So it is up to the employer, and is not a right.
