  • They can do that if they want, you are getting statutory entitlement so everything beyond is a bonus but that is the way they happen calculate it.

    You will get people advise you be militant about it (as its your job at risk, not theirs, assuming they work), I'd say, be careful with it as you are still new and there is no point losing your job over 2.5 days holiday.

    There is nothing immoral about how the employer is caluclating the holiday.

    As morals are personal, I do find it it immoral. It's not unlawful, though. :)

    My old work said this about holidays and we only had 28 days holiday (Statutory minimum) but i fought it and got my holidays.

    When i left the company 5 years later, they were still doing it!
