Holidays at work - How many?

[physichull]

25 + bank hols, and any overtime I work I can either claim as overtime, or just save up the hours to get Time Off In Lieu. So often if I want the Friday off, I will just work a 4 day week (i.e. cram all my 37.5 hours into 4 days) and then free to take the Friday. On flexitime (its quite a liberal flexi too), so its a pretty good deal for me.

We do an average 42 hours per week, on a 4 on 4 off rota. So they convert it to "a day is actually a day and a half". Some weeks we work 4 days, some its 3 days.

That makes sense.

35 a year taken when I like.

 

[Deleted member 66701]

That is correct. For somebody who works 5 days a week. 28 days minimum.

Actually, the legal minimum isn't measured in days, it's measured in weeks - i.e. 5.6 weeks is the legal minimum.

Therefore 28/5 = 5.6.

If the poster previously is working 4 days then their leave entitlement should actually be 23 if measured in days (23/4 = 5.75).

Sorry, I took the easy answer.

If you always work four 12 hour shifts, followed by four days off (the ‘continental’ shift pattern) then the average working week is three-and-a-half 12 hour shifts. You would be entitled to 19.6 shifts of 12 hours as annual leave a year.

23 days + bank holidays, which I have just taken 8 of for this april half term

 

[rmuir]

25.5 + bank holdidays + 13 accrued days, 4 of which are taken to make time for christmas break 9 we can allocate.

This year ive carried over 6 days leave as well.

I try not to take hols at short notice if we are going through a busy spell. But if ive booked a fortnight off well in advance and that coincides with a busy spell there aint much i can do about it.

School holidays

 

[Camalot]

33

 

[darkgen]

33 + national holidays. Private IT sector. Have to be a little flexible around work when that time is taken (primarily as no cover is provided for my role).

 

[Schizo]

roughly 40 to 45 including bank holidays and+ deals.

 

[NeilMick]

29 + Bank Holidays + 5 I can buy

 

[Maximum Triceratops]

25 + bank hols and with buy back up to 30 (unpaid leave basically).

Same, though the 5 extra days will be free in August after I have being with the Company for 20 years.

 

[dsb]

30 + BH and normally a couple of extra freebies, most Fridays im out the door by 1pm.

 

[Maccy]

Not enough. 22.5 days this year (not including bank holidays), although 3 days have to be taken between Christmas and New Year. It increases by 1 every year but the maximum allowed is 25.

[teulk]

30 days plus bank holidays. I work a 5 week shift cycle and get 12 off days during the 5weeks. So that kind of works out at another 144 days off a year. I knew there was a reason i liked working where i do.
I most certainly don't feel bad about taking time off

 

[clocka]

32.5 + bank holidays, + 13 days flexi-leave (1 day every 4 weeks if I make up the hours on the other days)

 

[steve45]

36 days a year, which includes any bank holidays we actually get off... plus anything the CO feels kind enough to grant us, plus any off the record days for doing favors etc
weekends dont count towards those days so it works out a bit more.

got 4 weeks coming up from the end of this week
10 days from last years account that i need to use before this years start, and 10 from this years for easter leave.
cant wait for end of play friday!!!

 

[panthro]

I get 25 days per year, plus bank holidays, plus every other Friday off (9 day fortnight).
