Annual Paid Leave

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

How much do folks get ?

job i'm being offered is 20 days + bank hols, which is the 5.6 minimum that employers have to give, another that I've applied for is 25 days + 8 bank hols which is what I've had in most of my jobs tbh.

do most companies just give the minimum or do most get the 25 + bank hols ?

None.

Just join Sunderland mate.

None.

likewise with regards to 'paid' & haven't had any for 15 years. the place shut down for 2 weeks at xmas as well so doesnt leave many for when you need them.I see things like this as a measure of what they think of their workforce.

25 plus bank holidays here. Not sure if that would be the same nowadays though, the company has reeled in the perks for the new starters over the years.

13 weeks plus all bank holidays off. Most bank holidays fall when I’m on shut down.

 

[ArtetaMagic]

30 plus about 12 public holidays. One of the few perks about my job

in England 25 days plus bank holiday is the standard IMO, any less and you wonder what sort of employer they might be if they are being tight on this issue. Any more than 25 and happy days. My work offer for employees to 'buy' an extra week and so we can have 30 days but it costs us a weeks pay which is paid over the whole year

At most places you get additional holidays the longer you have been there, although that's not a good reason to work anywhere in and of itself. I get 30 days + bank hols in my current job, which I'm perfectly happy with. Truth is that I'm one of these people who tend to work most of the time and think about holiday later, so end up taking most of it towards the end of the year.

We do unlimited holidays at our place. It's not as cushty as it sounds!

I usually work on a bank holiday, but don't get a day off in lieu. If it's my day off the same applies.

Some leave comparisons.

22 days with bank hoidays including christmas time. Pretty standard fair really

 

[Kurt.]

30 plus all bank holidays

 

[Baines' left foot]

23 a year plus bank holidays. Up from 21 as I’ve been with the company two years. We usually get ‘gift days’ during the Christmas shut down which bumps it up to 25/26.

Apparently the average in the US is 10 a year. Completely put me off ever working over there.

They don't have any entitlement for annual leave (see link above.)
