Answer 1

All workers have the right to a minimum amount of annual holiday. The statutory minimum entitlement is four weeks holiday a year, based on your normal working week. For example, if you work: 24 hours a week, your statutory holiday entitlement is 4 x 24-hour weeks = total 96 hours annually. Therefore you would earn 1/12 of 96 per month (8hrs). Many employers give more than the statutory minimum amount of holiday (for example, paid bank holidays, although you do not have a statutory right to paid leave on bank and public holidays). You really need to read your Contract of Employment quite carefully and maybe speak with your HR Dept, so that you can be perfectly clear regarding when the 'holiday year' starts and finishes, what their policy is regarding Bank Holidays, etc. Under regulations, however, part-timers should be treated no less favourably than full-timers; this normally means that a part time worker will get a pro rata proportion of what the full time workers get. If you visit the website below, you will find more info regarding the rights of part-time workers, etc

Answer 2

you should have been given a copy of your Terms & Conditions of employment which will spell out the exact formula your company uses, and the number of days per full time worker should have been given in the job description when you applied.

If you have a Head Office, get in touch with them and speak to someone in personnel/HR.

Most full time people are entitled to 20 days per year. If, for arguments sake, you say full time is 36 hours per week, you will be entitled to 2 thirds of those 20 days as you work 2 thirds of a full time week, so you would get 13 days annual leave, plus a few hours.

You may not be allowed to take any leave until you've worked there for 6 months, but you will still be earning leave.

Answer 3

Holidays are set by the company and everyone, regardless of length of employment, gets a paid holiday on the days the company has designated. Common paid holidays here in the USA are Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Some company's give many more than those.

I believe what you are asking about are Vacation Days. Employers set different rules for earning or accruing vacation time off. You need to check your employee handbook or ask your HR representative.

Answer 4

Local government & many employers in UK are 20 days annual leave per year for full time, public holidays (as we call them) extra depending on employer but may be pro rata for part time workers. Reply already seen from toscamo seems the best, bypass your supervisor whether she knows or not, company personnel office should help if you do not already have employment conditions in writing, also check with them what you are entitled to up to March 2007.

Answer 5

You are entitled to 4 weeks holiday a year, pro rated which can be inclusive or exclusive or bank holidays so working three days per week will entitle you to 12 a year or one per month.

Answer 6

Depends on how many days holiday you are entitled to a year. If it is 20 days and you work a 5 day week then holidays are accrued at 1.67 days per month

Answer 7

In every place I have worked I have been entitled to at LEAST 2 days holiday each month, PLUS any official Bank Holidays that month has - Easter, Christmas etc.

Answer 8

If you work full time you are legally entitled to 20 days per year.
Some companies can include bank holidays but I don't know of any except temping agencies..

Answer 9

Holidays are nationally recognized days for all firms(ie:Christmas,Thanksgiving,etc.). I think you may be referring to vacation time or paid time off(PTO)
