31 + stat + Christmas week.
32 days + All public/bank holidays with the option to take TOIL instead of paid overtime if i want more, which I don't.
I feel majorly short changed!! Time to rock the boat? 😯
I'm self employed, no morgage, as much as i want 8)
None or,
as many as I like (unpaid), self employed you see.
Question for the self employed:
How much leave do you end up taking? I'll be making the jump to self employment in about 18 months time, primarily to spend more time doing the stuff I really like. Do you find yourselves constantly working to build up a financial buffer and because if you rule yourself out of a particular job or contract you might not get something else later?
A poxy 65 days + stat
I think I get 318.6 hours including bank holidays, but I haven't checked for ages.
I'm self employed (LBS) and have taken an average of 10 days + bank holidays for each of the last 7 years. I'm forever promising myself I'll take more but in the summer I'm up to my eyeballs in work and in the winter when it's quiet the weather's rubbish so there's not a lot of point closing the shop just to sit at home.
217.5 hours + 60 hours for Bank Holidays.
Due to working 12 hour shifts, I only work the equivalent of 15 days a month so if I use the annual leave right I can get some nice long runs of tie off work 😀
A little bit over 210 days I think.
32.5 days here!
Blimey, mine are really rather good. Currently 29 days, was 32 but NHS harmonisation but paid to that, goes up to 33 next year. Plus stats and flexi time (15 hrs/ month). I too struggle to take it.
little bit over 210 days I think
you're still at school so it doesn't count
None.
Retired 🙂

Tell that to the teachers, some of them seem to do less then me.
Self employed and take 18 weeks a year not working.
Question for the self employed:How much leave do you end up taking?
Depends i suppose on your situation, mine is good, it's rare i work a full week. Then in the winter i may not work at all till the spring.
If your overheads are big the pressures on, i personally wouldn't be self employed in that situation, too much stress to chase work.
I asked about holidays when I went for my interview for my job. I'm still waiting for an answer after 15 years. I'm also still waiting for my 3 month review.
26 days + bank holidays. Relatively flexible options to take unpaid leave for short or even longer periods or temporary part time working but all this is at the company's discretion
31 days (5 bought at discount) plus stats, plus a few odd days off here and there when they shut site down. But as off Novemeber I've got 365 days off!
20 days + bank holidays. no sick pay.
plus one here!
25 days + stats + 9 seemingly-random "office closed" days as free extras. Seems alright, I was on less even with 10 years service in the last place.
20 days + stats but 7 of those 20 are forced to be taken over Christmas, which is annoying as it means only 13 days are a free choice.
27 plus stat more wanted though, company not keen on selling us leave, or buying unused back.
27 + BH's + 2 extra this year because a bald man married a fit bird.
12 weeks a year, no stats tho
28 + stats + I buy an additional 7 days off the company (in effect unpaid leave)
As much as I like.
It's all unpaid though.
Yes the question of holidays all depends on work load. I once worked 2 and half years without a day off, which was when I was getting my business off the ground.Question for the self employed:
In my working life I've only had an average of 2 weeks holiday per year. However, I'm part time now, so get to ride bikes during the week.
30 + 5 ph
was 20 days(I choose) + monday bank holidays + 3 or 4 days over christmas to fill in the gaps in the 4 bank holidays(usually off something like the 23rd till the 5th Jan depending when christmas is).
I'm here 5 years next year so next year so my holidays go up:
25 days(I choose) + monday bank holidays + 3 or 4 days over christmas(+4 BH's)
But, it's a 4 day week for the forseeable(I'm off wednesdays) so holidays go pro rata.
so next year:
20 days(I choose) + monday bank holidays(-20%) + 3 or 4 days over christmas(+4 BH's) + wednesdays off.
I'm self employed too, worked the 1st 6 mths of year without a day off then had the whole of June, July and Aug off riding my bike etc. now embarking on another 2 month workathon to have Jan and Feb off....
30 + BH + a week unpaid
