since when?
I can sell as much holiday as I want back to my company, I don't have to take the minimum 20 days a year off at all if I don't want to, regardless of if I sell it or not..
.. unless the employee consents to not taking the time off.
The only obligation the employer has, as far as statutory time off goes, is to allow the employee to take the time off, within reasonable requests (e.g. asking for my full 20+ days off starting tomorrow is not reasonable). Not force them to take it.
They don't even have to "buy" it from you, if you choose not to take it.
You can choose not to take holiday, but you can't lose it aslong as you book within reasonable time if you have a week left to take and its coming to the end of your holiday year they can't turn around and say (tho some will try) sorry we are already booked up for all the time left your going to lose it.
20 days + bank holidays here, which the office is closed for. Holiday year runs Jan 1st - Dec 31st.
We also have a use-it-or-lose-it policy, but my contract also says that I can carry over my holidays to the next year provided I use them within the first 60 days. So technically I could have 40 days off in a row in Jan or Feb if I wanted.
Would be tough going a whole year with no holidays though!

Really? Every place I've ever worked at is Apr - Mar
It's different per company.
I've had jan- dec and a more sensible one join date to a year later. Means people don't all rush to book Holliday at the same time.
You sure about that, as that isn't reasonable.
It's also upto you to request holiday reasonably.

Oh you can lose it. My contract says so lol.
Mine is different again, runs from 1st March to end of Feb....no idea why.
Are most people on the minimum 20 days holiday a year then? From jobs I've looked at most places seem to offer 25 days as standard.
The more you learn... never knew people ran it like that sometimes
Lucky you. Most of the NHS treated it as a normal working day, since 8 days bank holiday entitlement was our contractual allowance, though a few offered a day off as a good-will gesture. I took my extra day off on the day of the wedding

I get 24, but can at the start of the year, in the first 2 weeks choose to buy or sell holidays. You can sell as many as you can and buy 6, taking it up to 30 a year (+ national holidays). The holidays you buy is basically taking an unpaid leave, but the cost of that spread over the year's salary.
