The Isla Bikes thread got me wondering:

How much paid annual leave do you get a year?

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 should be getting at least 28 days leave a year (including bank holidays).

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.

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 🙂
