I heard that the Government are changing the holiday allowence to new employees from 20 days to 22/23 days.
Does anyone know if this is this true?
And also, if you have a website that you could paste on here, so I could read through it?
I am doing the registers at the moment for all the other workers and it has not been changed to this new way, so I dont know if its not true or, my work are trying to get away with it. :o(
(Receptionist in London, been here a year)
Any help is appreciated Thanks Alot :o)

If new workers were entitled to more holidays than existing ones, there would be civil war. Don't you think? -

Well said about Charity. It's probably a troll, not a young girl.
Anyway...re. your question, it can only be a rumour, or else an extremely stupid and ill-thought out piece of legislation. If new workers were entitled to more holidays than existing ones, there would be civil war. Don't you think?
#edit#....we are all talking about STATUTORY hols ain't we.....a big difference to contractual hols. Stat hols are the ones an employer must allow by law. At present it's 20 working days pa......and outrageously, employers can decide whether the 20 days includes the 8 Bank Hols...... or if the B Hs are extra. Contractual hols are a different kettle of fish.
PS No problem Fades...we can't think of everything !!!

It is down to the employers how much holiday there employees are allowed, and NOT the Government.
My Dad has been with his company 15 years, and gets 20 days holiday a year and 10 of those are to be taken over Christmas and New Year.
Yet I have been with mine less than 2 years, and I get 27 days to take when ever I like.
One of my cousin's worked for a German based company in their London Office, and the starting holiday allowance was 30 days PLUS the Bank Holidays.
