when you work full time areyou entitled to 4weeks holiday per year including bank holidays?

Answer 1

UK?
Statutory minimum is 15 days (european law).
Any "bank holidays" can legally be interpreted as part of your leave allowance, with a couple of exceptions, but I can't remember which ones - xmas and easter, I think.
There is also a EU directive that says all employees MUST take 14 days consecutive leave in each year, to rest and recuperate mentally and physically, so theoretically you employer can "cancel" all your bank holidays and make you take two weeks off once a year, that's all you get by law - few employers enforce this.

Answer 2

I believe your entitled to 2 days paid holiday for every month you work adding up to 24 days per year but this does not include bank holidays which you will not get paid for unless you include them in your holiday entitlement you should look at your terms of employment which your employer is legally bound to give you after 6 weeks mind you thats what I believe it may have changed since the last time I looked

Answer 3

I believe that the law says that you are entitled to 20 days holiday per year. The law did intend this to exclude bank holidays but forgot to put that in the statute and therefore a lot of bad employers will include bank holidays in your quota.

I'm afraid that your Contract of Employment might also change this for you, so check it out. If you don't have a written Contract of Employment it could be a route to take.

Answer 4

Many people think you are entitled to bank holidays off, this is not true and you may be required to work any bank holiday your employer wishes, as for holidays, I am not too sure what the statutary requirements are but I know many temp workers at my place of work who work full time only get 2 weeks holiday a year. It stinks. btw I am in England

Answer 5

LEGALLY lower than uk regulation ALL finished time workers are entitled to 24 days PLUS the 8 economic company holidays. This grew to change into regulation on 1st October 2007. On 1st October 2009 you'll LEGALLY be entitled to twenty-eight days PLUS the 8 economic company holidays.

Answer 6

4 weeks per year usually only comes after you've worked somewhere for a period of time (5-10 yrs. or so)--a lot of places don't pay leave at all--esp. restaurants--most people don't get the ridiculous bank days off, like columbus day and president's day--i think i should go work at a bank

Answer 7

no.
if you are in a union you might have different (more) entitlements.
you are not entitled to bank holidays or federal holidays.
most employers offer only 2 weeks after a year of employment.

Answer 8

completely depends upon your employer, but generally yes. check your contract - what does it say there? I'm speaking from experience from the ten companies I've worked for in Scotland. Unsure about the rest of the world.

Answer 9

yes in the uk the usual holiday from most employers is 4 weeks per year but that doesnt include christmas day, boxing day ,easter etc etc etc....

Answer 10

SORRY BUT YOU HAVE TO BE EMPLOYED WITH A COMPANY FOR A CERTAIN TIME BEFORE YOU ARE ENTITLED TO THE FULL HOLIDAY QUOTA.
