Annual Leave and Employment Law?

[Angela C]

This is a UK question.

I am currently paid 20 days annual leave with the 8 days bank holiday on top. I understand that with effect from October 2007, if you are a full time worker working Mon-Fri, the entitlement was raised to 24 days (of which the Bank Holidays can count as part of). However, as I am already paid Bank Holidays, can my employer refuse to pay me the additional 4 days paid leave I am entitled to?

annual leave entitlements are set by your employer, not the government.

Under enlish law, if you sign a contract egiving you no annual leave, thats exactly what you'll get,
