How many days off work do you get a year?

alx · 5 Jul 2016 at 11:40

28 + 8 bank holidays (4 fixed, 4 floating) + 12 (flexi day each month) + 2 (for being on the Emergency Response rota) = 50

Mak3R · 5 Jul 2016 at 11:42

24 + BH. Plus potential for 1 flexi day per month if I can be bothered working up the time

Raymond Lin · 5 Jul 2016 at 11:42

27 + BH + half day Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

20 + BH then I accumulate an extra day a month, so 32 + BH basically. Dumb how it's worked out.

I'm also FE College. Looks like you get a slightly better deal than me as I get: 31 days + BH, but Xmas closures come out of the 31 days. I can carry 5 forward from the previous year though, so I could have 36 + BH.

We have a couple of directed days over Xmas that come from our AL entitlement, but the majority is purely because the site is shut down.

20 + BH but forced to use some of my allowance to have the days off between Xmas and NY because the office closes during that time. It's a little frustrating actually as my gf has far more holiday and also accrues holiday in lieu if she works overtime (I don't) so there's always quite a big disparity.

30 days plus bank holidays but very difficult to use them all.

neil_g · 5 Jul 2016 at 11:48

21 + BH.

some of those BH are on call but get time in lieu back.

However many 15 or so weeks equal.

Bear · 5 Jul 2016 at 11:54

None as I'm a contractor, but I take about 10 weeks off a year.

Scam · 5 Jul 2016 at 11:58

Looks like I'm bang on average then, with 25+BH. Can carry over 5 every year which I normally end up doing. The funny thing is my boss works in the US so I get way more holiday than him

20 shifts including bank holidays (Legal minimum is 19.6).

bluebeatle · 5 Jul 2016 at 12:04

23 + BH + Christmas Eve usually gets given as a extra day

Tone1979 · 5 Jul 2016 at 12:06

35 + BH

koolpc · 5 Jul 2016 at 12:08

None except 364 days

Roar87 · 5 Jul 2016 at 12:08

We get 25 plus BH. We can buy an extra 10 too if we want. I don't bother since my job isn't even work most of the time

There's talk of having a holiday purchasing scheme here, how much does it cost for a day off?

GTanny · 5 Jul 2016 at 12:09

Work out at 30 days as I work shifts to I don't get days off I get an hours balance to get relief cover in

suenstar · 5 Jul 2016 at 12:11

As I've been at the same place for a while I've gained extra 4 loyalty days (I think that's the max we get), so officially I get 25 + Bank Holidays + Christmas to New Years.

In addition to the regular annual leave allowance, in my team we can get pretty much as much leave as we'd like since we work on flexible time instead of getting paid for overtime. With that system, if I do an extra half hour each day then I could take a day off every 16 days.
We're also allowed to stockpile the time credit to 24 hours which means we could potentially save up to get 3 days off every other month... luckily nobody abuses the system, otherwise it'd probably get taken away.

Most jobs have worked out to 28 inc BH
Missus gets 45 inc BH. She can then take overtime as hours off. Last year she had 60 days off. Jammy cow.
