Holiday entitlement

[Matty.t7]

Hi all,how many days holiday should we (full time farm workers)should be getting.
have been reading up on it but it’s a little bit confusing wot with bank holidays and overtime and all that.

Most workers who work a 5-day week must receive at least 28 days’ paid annual leave a year. This is the equivalent of 5.6 weeks of holiday, who ever is doing payroll for your staff should know this , if you are an employee here you go....

Ours get 21 days plus all bank holidays for first two years of service rising to 28 days thereafter.
Overtime can be paid or time off taken in lieu.

Wheres lieu?

Some far away place that you never quite reach!! The issue with TOIL is you can accumulate so much that it’s not possible to use it all

Overtime can be paid or time off taken in lieu.

Which equates to 29 days in my calculations so one day extra in the first two years and eight extra thereafter which is pretty good.

 

[Lincoln75]

I read it as 28 + BH after 2 years but might be wrong (often am )

Bank holidays dont have to be paid by law IIRC?

Bank holidays​

Bank or public holidays do not have to be given as paid leave.

An employer can choose to include bank holidays as part of a worker’s statutory annual leave.

With some employers you accrue holidays based on the number of hours you work rather than having a fixed number of holidays.

Thats fine so long as it equates to the legal minimum or more .

Thats pretty good i would say, more than my engineering day job after 2 years

A guy I deal with in an ag related industry was conducting a job interview one day, interview was going well, was likely to give the lad the job when he asked how many days sick leave he was entitled to per year.
