Holiday pay

[estebanrey]

So with the Bank Hols I generally break up around 22nd December and go back 2-3rd January depending on how the weekends fall

Do you work in a factory by any chance?

 

[Kenai]

32 days inc. bank hols and a christmas closure, which usually eats up a few days.

This year I think i've ended up with 16 or 17 days after you take out the BHs and Xmas days I have to take.

 

[icehot]

35 days this year as I carried a week over from last year, otherwise standard is 30 a year.

And I don't work bank holidays

Nope - A University.

 

[Lartyconshayo]

25 + 5 BH

 

[The_Abyss]

31 plus all bank holidays. 36 this year as I carried 5 days over from 2012, and will do the same again for next year.

 

[Abraxaz1]

I work shifts so no holidays but then again I get 7 lots of18 off every year

 

[snapdragon]

50 days a year, 21 fixed and 29 floating.

 

[Skidder]

Whatever I like and the same for my colleagues. A bit of trust goes a long way.

 

[M1k3H]

25 which are split to hours, so you can take whatever you want, 1 hour here, 1 hour there, etc.

I also get my bank holidays.

I'm also entitled to 3 hours of going to the doctor's which I think is unlimited times, and does not require a doctor's note, but you need permission from your manager, so if you overdo it, you'll get told I guess.

 

[Haze]

i get 6 weeks, and get an extra day if i have to work a bank holiday

I had a dream where we watched a film - we were in it, together - and then we had a holiday and you

 

[Biohazard]

revoked

 

[MBennett]

24 + 8 statutory days.

You can earn up to another 10 if you need to by doing overtime. Works out to something like 20 mins every day will earn you the other 10 - yay for flexitime in the private sector!

 

[Jester*]

28 + Bank Holidays.

I usually work Bank Holidays (gogo shift) so I get them back in lieu. Same as I got in my old job so average in my experience.

 

[Socaddict]

13 weeks, but no choice in when they happen at all.

 

[Voxination]

26 days that I can choose, plus bank holidays, and the office closes between Christmas Day and New Year. Entitlement increase the longer you are an employee too.

 

[MikeTheNative]

I get 24 + bank holidays but because my work closes for Christmas I lose between 4-5 every year.

 

[Nitefly]

25 + bank holidays.

 

[estebanrey]

Nope - A University.

Ahh OK, the only organisations I know that close down for two weeks over Christmas and New Year are factories, schools and universities.

I worked for a marketing company (providing stats to big business) in the past and coming from retail before I thought I was entering a sector that really didn't require us to work over Xmas but no. The company made us do retail like hours which I never I understood.

I mean do say Coca-Cola really need marketing data on Xmas Eve?
