I work for a retail company and have just been told that I have to book my 4 week holiday entitlement for next year (that starts on April) before the 20th of January. If I don't book my 4 weeks off, they will designate my holidays for that year, are they allowed to do this?

Employment law always comes down to 1. what does your contract of employment state? 2. What has happened the past ie custom and practice. Citizens Advice can advise you. Do your homework. Don't make a fuss until you are sure of your ground.

Yes they are able to do this although it is very rare that a company does that now.
Generally the reason it is done is if the work force is large and they need a certain amount of people in all the time they can then judge how well off they are going to be, for example, if they need more people in or can allow more people off.

Yes, but depending on the company, they will allow you to alter this further down the line providing it does not affect business.

if you're operating in the U.S. there is not any regulation in any state that calls for an company to pay you for vacation. no remember what number hours a week that you paintings. vacation pay is a income that employers would pay or gained't pay. the actually required time without work is for meal breaks once you paintings a particular type of hours in an afternoon.

Yes, don't like it, quit your job and start your own business. You are not entitled to anything, that is a benefit given by your employer to retain good workers!

if you all took your 4 weeks at the same time then they would have no staff to run the business and then you would not have a job to come back too. and by them doing this they know how and when to get temp labour in

I have to do the same. Its just to make it fair on everyone to make sure everyone gets the holiday they want.
