Hi, I work for a company of 30 people. Company is American and for a while only a few people in the UK, including me. We have more now here but we need to benchmark our holiday policy against against other UK companies. I’ve be very grateful if you could tell me:

  • how many holiday days you get each year
  • how many people in your company
  • does your office close over Xmas in addition to your individual holiday days.

Thank you!

When people say they can "buy" extra annual leave, is this charged at the same rate as the pay you'd be earning on those days? Is it not just akin to unpaid leave if so? How does it work? Never worked for a company who offers that and always wondered. Smile

In answer to OP, 30 days AL with bank holidays paid in addition. No shut down over Christmas. Local firm of roughly 250 employees.

Yes, usually the additional holiday is deducted from salary, before tax and spread over 12 months. It can work well for tax purposes as it brings your salary down.
