How much annual leave do you get from work?

How much do you get and what sector do you work in?

I'm interested in how many people get more than the legal minimum. No other reason than curiosity, most people I know get quite a lot and having a discussion with someone who says most people get the minimum.

Full-time equivalent: 30 days plus bank Holidays plus 4 closure days at Christmas/New Year.

ImAGoodPerson · 28/03/2023 21:41

33 days plus bank hols - NHS. DH has always worked in private companies and has never got more than 25 days plus BH, usually 20 days though.

Gazelda · 28/03/2023 21:41

21 days plus BH. Third sector.

All school hols as I work in a school my salary reflects that though 😊

MyOwnVolt · 28/03/2023 21:43

27+ bank holidays + a week at Christmas.

Throwaway0323 · 28/03/2023 21:45

29 plus bank holidays and the option to buy or sell additional days usually 3 but I think we are restricted to 2 this year.

Construction.

@TroysMammy we have sparred on many a thread but you should get the bank holidays pro-rated in accordance with your fraction, as should your colleague. You should be entitled to the pro-rated days and paid for them under the fractional hours you render. You should get days in lieu or paid and your colleague should get any excess deducted. The statutory entilement is for the no of BH's in any year regardless of working pattern. There is case law on this and when I'm off my phone I'll Google and explain over pm regardless of our differences.

I know it is wrong but I'm not getting anywhere. When the Queen died I was meant to be covering a colleague who was on holiday the day of the funeral which was announced it was a bank holiday. The business was closed. Everyone except me got paid and as my on holiday colleague's day off was then a bank holiday she got that back to use again. The only thing I can do is ensure my CV is up to date and keep looking for somewhere where I am valued. This isn't the first time I've been dealt the wrong end of the stick.

I know we have sparred in the past but thank you for your assistance, it won't make a blind bit of difference though.

DoeRayMe · 28/03/2023 21:47

25 days plus the Bank Holiday's but we can buy or sell 5 days as well, or even carry 5 over to the first quarter of the next holiday year.

I'm very happy with that personally

twinmum2007 · 28/03/2023 21:48

25 days + BH, but only work 4 days/week, so it's effectively 6 weeks. Publishing.

ViscountessBridgerton · 28/03/2023 21:48

35 days + BH + Christmas closure

Lcb123 · 28/03/2023 21:49

24 days plus BHs, plus several closure days (work at a university) around Easter and Christmas

MadCattery · 28/03/2023 21:50

I’m an American. I get 27 days, plus 11-13 holidays per year. And usually an extra day at the end of the year.

dizzygirl1 · 28/03/2023 21:50

30 (I think) plus BH. But I have loads of flexi too so always carry 10 days over (15 for the last 3 years due to covid).
Easter I've got 2 full weeks off, 2 BH, 5 flexi and 3 annual leave.

Stravawindow · 28/03/2023 21:51

30 inclusive. It’s miserable and tiring to be honest. I feel for anyone on less. We close 2 days at Christmas and 2 at new year. So it’s 26 days to use as we please.

Abouttimemum · 28/03/2023 21:51

I get 30 days plus bank hols (although sometimes I am on duty on bank hol but get paid)

DH gets 20 days and has to keep 3 of those for between Xmas and new year. It’s fucking dreadful. Also gets bank hols.

Bbq1 · 28/03/2023 21:52

60 days per year plus bank holidays

SquigglePigs · 28/03/2023 21:53

Full time is 25 days plus bank holidays and the option to buy up to 10 more days. Then pro-rated for part time.

GreenMarigold · 28/03/2023 21:53

I work 4 days a week and get 18 + bank holidays. That’s the minimum plus 2 extra I’ve earnt through 15 years at the company. It’s a great company in other ways but so stingy with holiday!

WimbyAce · 28/03/2023 21:53

33 days plus Bank Holidays plus a day off for birthday. NHS, maximum entitlement.

RainLover · 28/03/2023 21:55

30 days + Bank holidays and Christmas closure. Also really good allowance for sickness/compassionate/fertility leave - work in tech.

Clevs · 28/03/2023 21:56

41 days including bank holidays (NHS).

threesheets · 28/03/2023 21:58

30 days plus B. Hols and also 10 days over Xmas/New Year

Sotiredmjmmy · 28/03/2023 21:58

7 weeks plus bank holidays and 1-2 days office closure at Xmas - but a challenge to take them all and can’t roll any over, but have adjusted to having the difference from 5 weeks to 7 weeks as a buffer for child cover on random days over the year etc

Andanotherone01 · 28/03/2023 21:59

35 days plus bank holidays and Christmas closure. I work in HE.

Temporaryname158 · 28/03/2023 21:59

Education (but not teaching)

30 days leave
11 bank holidays
2 week shutdown at Xmas
as much flexitime as you accrue

Helps make up for the poor pay
