Changes to Holiday Entitlement

by Emma

April is one of the two months of the year when employment law changes tend to come in (October being the other).  There are a number just in or about to come in, not least the abolition of the Statutory Dispute Resolution Procedures and their replacement with the ACAS Code.

One change which came in yesterday relates to holiday entitlement.  As of yesterday full time workers are entitled to 28 days holiday each year under the Working Time Regulations.  This figure can include bank holidays (of which we have 8) so if you already offer (or have) 20 days plus bank holidays nothing changes.
