DTI Ready Reckoner for the New Working Time Regulations Holiday Entitlements
by Liam
As reported by this Blog back in January, the Working Time Regulations minimum holiday entitlement is increasing on 1 October 2007 from 20 days’ holiday entitlement per year to 24 days’ holiday entitlement per year. The 24 days can include bank holidays in the same way as the current 20 days can include bank holidays.
Where the 1st October falls part way through the holiday year of an employer who only allows employees 20 days holiday per year, that employer will have to work out how much extra holiday his employees are entitled to for the part of his holiday year falling after the 1st October.
Help is at hand with this extremely taxing bit of degree level mathematics calculation from the DTI who have produced a Ready Reckoner which will recalculate holiday entitlement based on when an employer’s holiday year starts.
