  • Minimum annual leave entitlement

    I'm not clear on what I'm reading online - can anyone clarify for me please? I understand that the legal minimum annual leave entitlement is 28 days - what I want to find out is, can this include bank holidays (8), which would effectively turn the entitlement into 20 days A/L plus the BHols, or does an employer have to allow the 8 BHols PLUS the 28 days entitlement? (Or 8 dys time off in lieu). My team get A/L inclusive of Bank Holiday entitlement - what's the legal minimum I should be providing them?

      Thank you, I will look at the Gov.UK website - I found this online which, if I'm reading it correctly, suggests that the 28 days should be in addition to the 8 bank holidays - ?

      As a result of amendments to the Working Time Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/1833), the statutory minimum annual leave entitlement increased from four to 5.6 weeks between October 2007 and April 2009. Prior to the increase in holiday from four to 5.6 weeks, many employers worded contracts to the effect that employees were entitled to “statutory entitlement plus bank holidays”. Previously, this wording would have granted an entitlement to 20 days’ leave (for an employee working a five-day week) plus eight bank holidays. Following the increase, it denotes an entitlement to 28 days’ leave plus eight bank holidays.

        The mimimum entitlement for a full time employee is 5.6 weeks' paid holiday, know as statutory annual leave, a year. This is effectively made up of:

        20 days = 4 weeks
        + 8 days (which can be the year's bank holidays) = 1.6 weeks
