Don't Scotland & N.Ireland get 1 or 2 extra

Not sure about N. Ireland, but Scotland has both different bank holidays to England and additional local public holidays, so it depends whereabouts you are in Scotland as well!

17 days, plus bank holidays and a 3 day Christmas shutdown.
I hate it, I'd much rather work between Christmas and new year and the bank holidays and choose when I can take my time off.

I get 31 days, plus 8 days bank holidays and an additional (optional) 12 days a year flexi (one a month) so potential 51 days leave a year.

EDIT: Oooh, I forgot, we also get an additional grace day at Christmas - so that makes 52.

33 inclusive with the potential of 5 service days starting at 1 for 5 years service.

Plus, at one of our sister plants, you can potentially have an extra 52 hours paid time off.

but if you work less days a week, then you get less holidays. So someone can have less than 20 days and still be legal

Yes they can but the poll is looking for answers for a 5 day working week and asking those to pro-rata to that rate.

Paid ones, I'd accrue 20 days plus eight BH but I'm an agency worker so I can take unpaid time off without having to jump through hoops to get it. I just put down the hours I've worked each day/week.

My holiday year starts from the date I started with them and I have to accrue enough up front to get paid hols. Unfortunately as I started in July it means my fortnights Aug holiday will have very little holiday pay in it, but nothing I can do about that, I have teenagers in education so restricted with them as to when I go away.

Yep, NI have 9 listed public holidays.
I get 25 holidays plus the 9 stat days. the extra 5 are for length of service, I started on 20 originally. Relatively high level job with a lot of responsibility so I usually end up in December with most of my allowance still to take as I haven't been able to take more than a couple of days off at a time. I usually carry a few days over and get paid for what ever else I don't take.

Less than 15

My staff get 28.

I get less than 15, for half of my self employed life it would be 5 max.

Most slaves in the private sector get about 20. In the public sector, anything beyond that, which makes no sense to me, as work is work. Someone I know gets 33 days a year and her job is far from backbreaking that would require extra days rest. She works for the council. On that note, I rest my face...

I worked with someone who had previously worked for our local council. 33 days is what our local council gets. It stems back to the days when the council used to shut an additional day when it was a bank holiday. When they stopped doing that and were just shut on the bank holidays they had to give the staff those days as annual leave days instead.
