Holiday entitlement help

I believe the taxman is generally quite interested in this sort of thing especially if the underpayment of holidays (which this appears to be) takes you below minimum wage.

Not taking holiday will not take someone below minimum wage.

you will need to point at a case.

There is no requirement in a min wage calculation period to include any holidays.

Does your contract state you're required to work bank holidays but will be reimbursed? I've sacrificed my right to bank holidays on a contract on the premise that you can claim the full 8 hours as overtime.

There is no "right" to bank holidays!

Your right, as a full time employee, is to 28 days holiday per year but the employer can totally dictate when you can and cannot take your holidays.

Often people get the 8 bank holidays plus 20 other days but it does not have to be like that. Many businesses need all their staff working on bank holidays.

Maybe I didn't word that correctly. I sacrificed my right to 8 of my 28 days holiday, which correspond to the 8 bank holidays which I would be required to work.

Hmmm your employer has no idea, statutory minimum leave is just that, a statutory minimum, your employer is on a very sticky wicket if, unless in exceptional circumstance, he allows you not to take them

Your employer is in effect buying holidays back off you which is unlawful (can't see it being enforced though)
You are however allowed to carry over upto 1.6 weeks/8 days as long as both party's agree.
