How much holiday am I entitled to in the UK?
Almost all UK workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year. In days, that is the number of days you work each week multiplied by 5.6, capped at 28 days. A five-day-a-week worker gets 28 days.
Does holiday entitlement include bank holidays?
Your 28-day statutory entitlement can include bank holidays, it is up to your employer whether bank holidays are counted as part of, or on top of, your statutory holiday. Check your contract.
How is part-time holiday calculated?
Part-time workers get holiday pro-rata using the same 5.6-week formula. For example, someone working three days a week gets 3 × 5.6 = 16.8 days a year.
Do I accrue holiday from day one?
Yes. Statutory holiday builds up from your first day of employment, including during probation, and you can take it as it accrues subject to your employer's approval.
