What is the average number of vacation days given by companies in the UK? Can I negotiate vacation days in UK?

In the US there are no legal requirements for any paid holidays/vacation at the federal level or state level. The only regulations are in regards to minimum wages, minor-employees, and work times (such as overtime).

Each company is different.  Refer to your company's employee manua or handbook.  Some companies will pay you for your vacation time, others will not.

I don't know about England, but here in the states you can work up to 15 hours a week with a workers permit. Most people choose a restaurant. Just pick places you want to work at and ask them. they'll tell you.

not sure. Are you thinking about vacationing there or are you from there? Go to yahoo.com and look up average temps for London or the united kingdom

You should check with some specialist interim agencies on this one. It will vary as you probably know. Shorter the term, higher the rate and vice versa. If you are operating as an interim (ltd company as example) you might also be able to negotiate expenses separately to your daily/weekly rate. This is not my area, but I reckon £500/day would be the minimum.\nTry http://www.uk.eim.com/

Yes.  You can find out more by doing a search for your state's "Department of Wage & Hour."  Typically these sites have Q&As for common questions.  THe general rule, which varis by state, is that no vacation is required, unless guaranteed by the vacation policy.  As long as their vacation policy allows them to do so, they can limit vacation use.

IT depends upon the type of job you have.  If, for example, your job is something that requires coverage of a phone or help desk or dealing with hospital patients, your proposal probably won't happen.  If your job is basically one that has weekly or monthly deadlines, but some days are wild and others are not, you may be able to get it done.\n\nWrite up a proposal.  Emphasize that while imporving employee satisfaction (yours!), it will not cost the company any more money.  Show how your being gone one day a week will not harm the current information flow and operation of the business.  Show how your work day would be, specifying when and how long breaks will be.  Show how being there an extra 1.5 hours/day will add to productivity overall for both you and the business.  I'd try to not tie it to yourself exactly, more to the position you are currently holding.\n\nBest wishes!

In the past I have done two types: four 12 hour days, four days off, four 12 hour nights four days off rotating, with approx 23 personal days. We also did four 12 hour days, six days off, four 12 hour nights, six days off rotating, in the summer we would have sixteen days off, but no personal days; these were paid back by working the two middle days of a six off and the first days off after the four days directly after the 16 off were worked as nights, but both these days only happened once after your sixteen off. There were five shift teams working at the factory but only two were ever in, one day shift one night shift.\nAs a footnote, these shifts are well paid and you do get a lot of time off, but sometimes that time can be Monday to Saturday and you could end up working through the weekend. Also it plays havoc with your health. I worked these shifts for almost 14 years, my social life went t1ts up, and in my last few years I suffered from IBS, because of the irregular shift patterns.\n\n\n\nDo you know what it's like when you half read a question when you've had a few beers and answer it totally wrong? \nSorry mate!

e-mail (for written notification), but call first... most employers are sympathetic, but if they aren't you may need to contact HR - most companies will give you 3 days off with pay and if you need more, you can take leave.

I depends on where/who you work for, but it's a pretty common practice to not get holiday pay if you take the day before or after a holiday.

yes.  anything to get more days off :-)

Go to work!  I'm completely baffled as to why this is a question!  If you don't get the holiday, then work.  Just because your company policy is different from others doesn't mean you should get the day off too.

Sorry, can't answer for churches specifically, but I can for corporate America as a whole... Much of this depends upon the company, the nature of the work, and what they feel they can get away with.\n\nFor many non-union jobs, it's common for a new employee to get 2 weeks of vacation with more offered after years 2-5. 4 weeks off is probably the most you could expect (unless you're working in Europe) but this would be unlikely for someone new to the organization. In addition to vacation, a typical company may offer you 3-5 sick days. From the company's perspective, they'd like to prevent employees from abusing those days and treating them as additional vacation days. However, if you don't abuse them (and the church has no reason to think that you are) it's not uncommon for people to exceed the allotted sick days under special circumstances. Your employer would probably rather you not infect the entire staff...

Depends on how often you are planning on being back in the UK. You are allowed so many days a year. See the Inland Revenue website for details.

Surely your company has a policy for requesting leave time\nThey might have a form letter you just fill in. Otherwise I would write:\nDear (employer)\nI am requesting (annual if in U.S>) leave of X days which will be x hours. I would very much appreciate any consideration you can afford me on this matter. or  I would appreciate your approval of this request.\nThank you.\nyour name.
