In UK employment law, how many paid holiday are we entitle in a year? (is it like 24 days or something?)?

Im not sure that it is prescribed in law but if it is then the norm of 20 seems a fair bet.  Of course some jobs such as teaching offer much greater holidays. I think I get about 13 weeks.

Read your contract of employment - every employer I've ever had has paid me nothing for the first 3 days sickness then SSP at the standard rate (tight barstards all of 'em).  Most companies now dont pay for 3 days to stop people taking random sickies xxx

it's a special holiday and it depends on your company if they will declare no work (if you're working in a private one, otherwise you don't have to report for work).

Same as full time workers... 4 weeks paid (as a minimum - check Company benefits)\n\nBUT! it does work a little differently... \n\nFor example, if you work Monday, Tuesday and Weds.... you will be entitled to 12 days off per yer (equivalent to 4 weeks, 3 days per week x 4)

Sounds like the boss wants an extra day off, if you ask me! If your company does close that day, and your colleague chooses NOT to use his vacation time, he will not be paid for that day--because he isn't working.  Employers do not have to pay employees for work days not worked.  Employees should not be coerced into taking time off or using benefit time (this benefits the employer), however, and employees who disagree with the decision to close on a productive day should be offered an alternative.  Unless arrangements can be made for those employees who wish to work that day, there will be one less day on that period's pay check (unless they use their vacation hours).  Sorry, I don't have specifics on legalities but I think it would be difficult to contest formally.  Laws vary from state to state, and even those considered "salaried" may still be subject to hourly reporting.  As long as the total hours are met, the employee would receive full pay.  You may be able to work out an arrangement for working four days, but working 10 hours instead of 8 each day, e.g.

You may want to consider researching this info beforehand.\n\nRemember, It is up to the employer how you are paid for working on a Holiday even though there are state laws that they must abide by.\n\nCheck out this link regarding laws from your state:\nhttp://www.state.ar.us/labor/\n\nHope this info helps you.\n\nHave a wonderful Thanksgiving.\n\nGod Bless.....

lol LOL LOL I wish paid holidays were a requirement. You earn leave but usually after being at the company for a while. Also it is usually based on the hours you worked the previous year. It all depends on the company you work for.

It is generally considered that there are 52 weeks an a year. 7 days a week times 52 weeks is 364 days, 1 day short of a normal year and 2 days short in a leap year.\n\nP.S. I just noticed your comment. There are years where there are 53 pay days in the year. We had a municipal district that tried to not pay their employees their 53rd check because they had already been paid  for 52 weeks. The employees went to court and got their 53rd paycheck.

no not for pensions, you are entitled to 15 days (minimum) paid holiday a year.

Literally the number of days...you count weekends and holidays.  Business days you don't count weekends or holidays.

Typically, corporations have 260 days per year.  52 weeks and 5 days per week.  If you don't count the holidays, it depends on the company but might be 5-10 days fewer.

Afraid not.  Holiday pay is something negotiated between the employee and the employer.  Overtime is a different case, sao that if you have worked 40 hours and then then the holiday as well, you may have a case.\n\nNo law requires an employer to give employees time off for nationally recognized holidays. And no law requires an employer to pay a premium to workers who do come to work on those days.\n\nThe only exception is if working on a holiday puts a non-exempt, or hourly, worker over a 40-hour workweek. In that case, the Fair Labor Standards Act says such workers should be paid at a time-and-a-half rate for each hour over 40.\n\nHope this helps!

no, unless the hours worked go over 40 hours.\nmost good companies though will pay double time for hours worked on a holiday. wage laws are for the most part set up by the federal government.

they can "suspend" you for any length of time if you have broken a company rule.\n\nAnd they can lay you off anytime they want for any reason, or just no reason at tall.\n\nfor employees not working somewhere long enogh to get paid holiday pay,  being off on a holiday is unpaid.\n\nSo you did not explain exactaly what is happened,\n\nBut they could tell you that if you don't work Saturday, they will just not call you in next week,

No, there is  24 hours over the period of 4 years which we dont account for on a daily basis but it gets added to our calender every 4 years & that year would be called a leap year. The day it falls on would be 29th February which will not be present for the other 3 years.

I don't think that 'days in a row' is the issue, it is hours per week.\n\nI don't think that there is a limit to how many hours a week your employer can make you work, but I think that if it exceeds 40 hours per week, you are entitled to overtime (usually time and a half as compensation).  If he is "nickel and diming you" (you work seven days a week, but only a few hours a day so it never gets over 40 hours for the week), you may have problems getting any legal help with your situation

In Europe 35 hours, UK 37.5 but you don't have to, a salary is for professionals who do the hours they have to do.  Over here generally even less than above and 3 or 4 weeks holiday per year, makes you wonder doesn't it?
