Holiday entitlement changed, by letter

ssray

A college works 3x 14hr days rather than 5 8hr days, arranged with his boss( he lives quite a commute away and is benifical to both parties)

When taken a days annual leave in the past he would get paid 7.5hrs, he has recently recived a letter that states he will now be paid for his full 14hr shift, which has now reduced his holiday entitlement from 28 days to 14

He has been informed by letter only no change of contract,
can the employer do this by law?

Where would he look to confirm this?

Ta very much

He should get 5.6 weeks, so at 3 days a week that's 16.8 days, the "day" being the length of time, so 14 hrs

Yeah as above, he is ntitled to 16.8 days (can be rounded up but not down) at 14 hrs per day. He was getting ripped off on the old system as he was only getting 210 hours per year (15days)whereas the proper way should give him 235.2hours per year (16.8days)
