| On returning to work in
the New Year, many will be reaching for
the travel brochures to plan their next
holiday getaway. Now would be a good time
to ensure that your employees (or your
own) holiday entitlement has been
correctly calculated. The minimum
statutory holiday entitlement was raised
from 20 days to 24 days per annum from 1
October 2007. This entitlement is
inclusive of Bank Holidays.
Where the holiday year end is not 30
September, then employees are entitled to
a pro-rated entitlement. The Business Link
website gives a link to enable individual
entitlement to be calculated. This is
particularly helpful for part time
employees.
The further increase in entitlement
from 24 to 28 days applies from 1 April
2009.
