Holiday Allowance

[Nick Connell]

Hi guys,

 

Just wondering how many days holiday you get / give your men if employed and does it include bank holidays?

 

Thanks

I suggest you have a look at these:-

 

https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights/entitlement

 

Acas - Advice leaflet - Holidays and holiday pay

 

 

If you employ staff, their holiday entitlement should be set out in their contract of employment.

The two companies I have worked for both offer 20 days holiday plus bank holidays

Legally you have to give 5.6 weeks off per year, if you work 5 days a week that's 28 days. This is a minimum and you could give more.

 

You can legally state when those holidays must be taken. For example the company can state they have a 2 week Christmas shutdown and a 2 week summer shutdown and the company owner can hold any remaining holidays to be used at their discretion. The notice period required for these holidays should be stated in the contract.

 

I personally give 28 days holiday and state the bank holidays must be covered by the holiday allowance plus a 2 week Christmas shutdown. The remaining are at the employees discretion but must be booked with 2 weeks minimum notice. Unpaid leave is also allowed as is building up holidays by working weekends if wanted.

Just the one Ian plus subbies.

 

Every holiday the employee has off I either have to take the day off, use subbies or go hedging/logging on my own. Those holidays cost the company a lot more than just the wage for the day.

Every employee is entitled to their holiday and anyone that begrudges that should reconsider the size of their business Imo.

Another reason why I don't employ anymore, to much hassle. I use various subbies now and it's a lot less trouble. If you have a good employee that turns up on time, lookes after the gear as if it were his own, cracks on with the job even when in supervised and can be trusted 100% then you are onto a good thing. I will never employ again. The government as usual screw over the hard working honest man making him not want to employ!
