Holiday Entitlement

All employees working in Great Britain are entitled to statutory paid holiday – for more information, please see https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights

New full-time staff accrue holidays of approximately one week per three months worked, but whoever you get to do your payroll will be able to advise you of the exact breakdown.

Bank and Statutory Holidays are included in the employee’s annual paid holiday entitlement and are not taken as extra days beyond that entitlement.

We recommend you maintain a degree of flexibility and understanding regarding time off for religious festivals, such as Easter and Christmas.

Employees are entitled to remuneration during their employer’s holidays, as these would be normal working days for the employee, unless they coincided with their own holiday leave. It may be helpful to communicate with your staff so that they can plan their holiday leave during a similar period, if mutually convenient.

Unpaid leave is discretionary and should be agreed upon between the employer and employee.

On leaving your employment, your staff would be entitled to holiday pay in lieu of any holidays not taken.
