Haven't got my statute book with me so can't help you. But good luck in your new gob!!!

Generally employees are entitled to 4 weeks holiday per year as a minimum (but that includes bank holidays).

Also depends on how many days you have taken already.

Firstly we really need to know which country you are working in as the laws are all different. If its the UK the law states that you are entitled to 20 days holiday per year and 35 hrs is equivalent to full time!

Check out the Citizens advice bureau website that are very good at assisting you with such stuff. Also check your contract (which you should have a copy of) it should tell you what you need to know. Also if the company have any other branches / head office write to their HR dept and explain the situation asking for guidance.

But whatever you do, don't deal direct with your boss until you have had some professional advice!

Good luck in your new job and stick to your guns for your old one - the law is on your side (in the UK) anyway!

You are not a full time employee as you work less than 40 hours per week so you are not entitled to any benefits including holiday pay, unless you have a written contract that grants you that pay. In fact, unless you have a written contract, or work for the State or Government, a lot of employers do not offer any benefits even if you work 40 hours or more per week.

If you work in the European Union the Working Time Directive should apply. This states that each country should take measures to ensure that all employees are entitled to 4 weeks paid annual leave per year. If you work 35 hours a week you are entitled to 140 hours annual leave. If you do not get annual leave contact the union covering your workplace or if there is no union, find out which one is appropriate and look at their website, they will probably give you some idea of what to do.

If you have worked at a company for over 12 months you should certainly be intitled to 20 days paid holiday a year.

The law states that you are entitled to 20 days holiday per year minimum. Even if your contract of employment says less than that you are still entitled to 20 days.

Every company sets its own policy as to how much vacation time/pay an employee is entitled to. You should have received or been asked to read a copy of the company rules and benefits when you were hired. You should check with your state employment office to find out what the legal minimum is.

Full time employment is 40 hrs per week - or the standard set by the company. Since you were part-time, you are not entitled to holiday time. Also - vacation/holiday time, etc should be outlined in your Employee's Handbook. Vacation/Holiday time is at the discretion of the Employer.

They don't have to give you ANY paid time off. Some companies do it in order to attract and keep good employees. Given that you walked out without giving two weeks notice I would say you're not a good employee. Nor are you much for proper punctuation.

If you are a full-time you should get about 3 weeks after a year, but if you are not you don't get holiday pay.
