New job how many days AL till end of year

Spendless

I am due to start a new job this month (August). My AL from my new employer is as follows, I receive 22 days plus public hols and in addition my birthday off (no idea how they implement that, but this year my birthday does fall on a weekday). The holiday year runs Jan-Dec. I am required to save 5 days due to a Christmas closedown.

Can anyone tell me how many days AL I am likely to  have until  the end of the year not including the public hols/birthday/xmas closedown.

Thanks

Roughly 12.5 days in total including public holidays and the Christmas closedown.

The public holiday aspect makes this complicated. The minimum legal entitlement is 28 days per year but you get 30 (22 plus 8 public holidays). So the extra two days are a contractual entitlement, so are subject to the firm's own rules and policies. Plus of course the birthday which I assume falls late in the year?

Also not clear if the five days you have to "save" for Christmas are in addition to Christmas day and Boxing day. Those plus the August BH mean there are 3 public holidays still to come this year.

I think you have got to ask them, then come back if you can't understand their calculations.

HI, my birthday is later this year, so after I start there. They have a Christmas shutdown - a relatively long one to which you have to save 5 of your AL this is in addition to being off on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's day (the public/BH days) .

They haven't given me a calculation as yet, I was just trying to work out a rough idea of what it is likely to be.

Well roughly 12.5, less the two BHs, then less the five days "saved" for the shutdown, leaving just c. 5.5 days to take when you and they agree plus of course your birthday.

New year's day is of course next year, not this year, if your holiday year runs Jan to Dec!

Ooops - of course NYD is! Isn't there still 3 BH though (late August), Xmas day & boxing day?

Yes, you are quite right! So that leaves you roughly 4.5 other days holiday to book.
