We will be in touch
The [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/quite-tempted-by-the-career-opportunity-at-islabikes ]Isla Bikes[/url] thread got me wondering:
[b]How much paid annual leave do you get a year?[/b]
I would get 33 days (including bank holidays) if I was full time.
But I work compressed-hours so I have Fridays off and get 30.5 days pa - which suits me pretty well.
20 days paid + bank holidays
18.5 plus bank holidays plus my birthday.
but then I only work 30hrs, mon-thurs.
So I win when bank holidays fall mon-thur, lose when they fall on a friday.
29 + bank holidays
33, which includes bank holidays, these are included in our annual holidays so no need to take on a bank holiday, which is great as I can ride to work when the roads are quiet 🙂
Just wait till someone who works for local government comes along to say they get something like 40 days plus bank holidays
33 plus bank holidays and up to 12 flex days per year.
And this is the worst holiday provision i've had in any of my jobs!
20 days paid + bank holidays for me too.
25 + bank holidays. Bang average I would expect.
36 days
7 occasional days ( 15 minutes leave per day worked )
Bank holidays
Flexitime
Oh and Home Leave every 2nd year - business class travel back to the Old Country and 11 days of extra leave.
🙂
30 plus public holidays
Paid annual leave - zero (I'm a contractor)
Days off - as many as I want & can afford as I don't get paid for them
Last salaried job, started at 20 days, ended with 26, plus statutory holidays
27 (rising to 30) + BH + another 3ish around Xmas
I work at a university
🙂
22 + bank holidays
We run a system called "don't take the piss" which is technically unlimited, I usually take 25-30 days a year, plus bank holidays, but I've taken more in the past.
33 including Bank Holidays
26 days plus the bank holidays.
Pretty good with parental care days and stuff like that too.
16 + BH's but I only work 4 days a week.
30 (some of which have to be taken over Christmas shut-down) + bank holidays
Shit loads
343 hours including Bank Holidays.
as many or as little as i want
301.8 hours, bank holidays, what are they?
25 + bank holidays best I've ever had although my sister works for the civil service and gets 35 + bank holidays!
25 Days plus Bank Holidays plus the gap between Xmas & New Year
The amount of paid leave depends on how many hours I work.
I'm surprised I'm the first with that response.
26 plus bank holidays. This includes a loyalty day too (one per five years of service).
We get a bit stiffed over Christmas though because the office shuts between Christmas and New Year, so they automatically deduct three days off for us.
20 plus bank holidays, 4 or 5 of those 20 are mandatory to be taken over xmas too. Seems quite low for a small tech company.
25 + 1 day long service + BHs
16 weeks
24 + Bank Holidays. At 45 years old I still pine for the 6 weeks summer break I enjoyed when I was a kid, but not enough to become a teacher.
6 weeks plus bank hols, after buying some extra days.
37 but 7 are mandatory over xmas/new year. dont get bank/public hols
28 plus bank holidays, which is nice.
How did "25 days holiday" become "25 days leave", noticed it creeping up over the last 10 years or so. It's like we're all in some capitalist army or something.
Blame the yanks, prolly their fault.
I think I had in total 35 to take this year.
25 basic
7 carried over
3 Privilege Days over xmas
Plus bank holidays.
60 days, but I'm a teacher and still do some work in those.
Started at 20 days (plus BH) then got an extra day for every year worked, up to 25 days. After I'd worked there for 6 years the policy changes where everyone that wasn't at 25 days (inc new starters in future) would get 25 days. Something to do with not giving length of service bonuses, everything had to be performance based. I didn't get the days back from my first 5 years 😡
Oh, and I can 'buy' an extra 5 days
Worth pointing out that the statutory annual leave entitlement is 5.6 weeks paid holiday a year (adjusted for hours worked).
So folk working 5 days a week [i]should[/i] be getting at least 28 days leave a year (including bank holidays).
https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights
Plus of course if you have kids then you are also entitled to up to 4 weeks a year of unpaid leave per child under 18.
https://www.gov.uk/parental-leave/entitlement
As many as I like
Minimum is 5.6 weeks (pro-rat'd for those working less than 5 days per week.
At work we give additional for long service but only force paid leave to be taken on the four days at Christmas/New Year (Scotland so the 2nd is a holiday). We've both English and Scottish customers plus many local 'trades' holidays.
And for myself, as many/few as I want as I'm a contractor - in fact finishing early today to ride at Innerleithen 🙂
So many that I don't actually know off hand, so I'll take schmiken's word for it.
" 60 days, but I'm a teacher and still do some work in those. "
28 days leave, no bank hols. However, I work 7 on, 7 off, and sometimes get sent home in bad weather, so I only really work 4 months a year 😀
It's the least days work for a full time salary of anyone I know of...
27 days + bank hols.
Goes up to 28 next year as i'll have been here 10 years.
Tops out at 30 after 15 years.
26 Days annual leave, plus 5 days purchased, plus bank holidays, plus 1 day over Christmas as the office shuts down
37 including bank hols,but it's the flexitime I lurve,oh yeah.
25 plus bank holidays, I never use them all anyway.
Recently turned down an offer for a role that would have had 39 plus bank holidays and a final salary pension. That was tempting.
last full time job was (I think) 25+ B Hols + 8 from a contract fudge + up to 6 Flexi a year.. I think
these days however much I don't want to get paid/no work coming in.Flip side is it's 9pm and I'm fixing DB errors for a deliverable next week and I've worked 80% of the public hols in the last 3 years and flown more sundays and friday nights than I want to
25 days here plus Bank Holidays; I have to keep 4 or 5 back for the Xmas break as well.
I reckon I'd forego a salary rise for an extra few days holiday if I could.
johndoh - Member30 (some of which have to be taken over Christmas shut-down) + bank holidays
+1. We generally have to take 3 days over Christmas, which sees us through to the new yr. We also generally get chucked out of work around 10:30am on Chrismtas eve.
We can choose how many hours we do a week for differing holiday - but given that most people do over the threshold for getting the 30 days anyway, it seemed like a no-brainer to sign up to that option.
[s]Something like 235 hours.[/s]
325 but can gain more for working bank holidays and Christmas.
No, wait that's not right.
Must be awful having to take Christmas off.
27 plus Bank holidays
25 paid
8 BH
15 purchased with tax relief
48 total which is nice
25 days I think but since beginning of 2010 I think I've managed to take about a third or so of my leave per year.
I get 25 + Bank Holidays, though we do have compulsory shutdown over Christmas which comes out of the 25 days.
Management seem to always want to make the compulsory time longer than I want so I have to argue to take less every year.
We get started on 20 & acrue a day for every year worked up to a maximum of 5 extra.
13 or 14 weeks.
36 inc bank holidays (5 mondays through the year, 4 at christmas and new year.), and need to use 4 days to cover shutting down over christmas, 23 days I can take when I want.
30 plus bank holidays + 4 days over christmas also can take 2 flexi days a month
182.5 days a year!
Only 11.5 working days until this holiday ends. mind you its been 20 working days since he holidays started,
My contract's being messed about (verbally it's to be made permanent on the 16th aug). So i'm doing faff all work until the. Although i start a part time MSc in September as well as a Forest Schools course. So they better get my contract right.
20 days paid plus 8 bank holidays
Honestly I have no idea. I never seem to have enough spare time to use them up though as our HR bod points out year on year. I suspect I'm even going to lose some of my planned holiday at the end of August having to deal with a funding application......... 🙁
Ah, the joys of running a university research group and lecturing as an untenured lecturer, particularly after the brexitards made life that much more unpleasant for everyone in higher education and research.
Self employed so it's up to me.
Three day week, 20 days.
I remember a mate who used to describe the holiday form process, fill in form, present to boss, boss signs it then shred form....
I get 35- only 25 contracted, the rest for "buildings closed". Think I get some more next year though.
It's quite funny, because it's not a contractual right, they don't promote the extra 10 days to new staff, you generally find out like this:
"See you tomorrow"
"No you won't, we're shut"
"Oh. OH!"
In the old company days it was 32 and would have to work bank holidays or could book them as holiday.
Since our take over it's 26 days plus bank holidays off and that goes up with time served to a maximum of 30 plus bank holidays I think. Our company do 24x7x360 support so we can also opt to work the bank holidays if we want and use the days elsewhere in the year apart from the 5 stat days where our offices are closed.
30 + BH (25 until 5 years service) blue chip
22 + BH. We're occasionally allowed unpaid leave but its such as admin headache we're advised not to do it. Harumph
33 + most bank holidays
Flexi time so I finish 1/2 days on Friday
I purchased an extra 5 days leave this year on top of the 33, can purchase up to 10 days.
and 35 hour working week
I don't work in the private sector.
31 (23 days basic + 3 days banding uplift + 5 days service maxed out after 10 years) plus bank holidays. Not a bad place to work, still feel like I'm hard done by at this time of year when MrsMomo is at home sleeping on the sofa!
I only work 195 days a year so get 170 days at my leisure!!!
well, if we are counting total days worked, i've just worked it at 183.5 days a year not at work. which is just over 50%. I can live with that.
Ah! In that case I work about 138 days a year. 😀
I'd get 31.5 days paid leave if I was full time.
I actually [s]go to[/s] work 24 hours a week over 4 days, plus 10 weeks off unpaid for the main school holidays, so it gets pro rata'd to however many hours and covers me having the half term weeks off as well.
And my remaining salary barely puts me above the lower tax threshold!
Ok 195 days working 190 when kids are in.
32 plus 8 bank holidays, plus 5 carried over.
28days, plus federal holidays, I am now based in the US and negogiated the same terms from when I was in the UK. US holiday entitlement are dire so I don't mention too much to my US colleagues
US holiday entitlement are dire
I get a massive 10 days + holidays although I started off with only 5 days plus holidays so it's an improvement. I miss the 20 days+ BHs of being in the UK but I do work from home a lot so I do have plenty of time at home.
Started out with 20, was at 30 for many years now 25 and I do miss the 5 extra days. 30 allows you to have a three week holiday if you want and not be restricted.
320 hours including Bank Holidays.
