What is my holiday entitlement?

Employees are entitled to four working weeks of paid holidays in a year. Holidays are earned on time worked by the employee.

Employees who work less than 117 hours in a month earn their holidays at the rate of 8% of hours worked, up to a maximum of four working weeks in a year.

Employees who work more than 117 hours in a month earn their holidays at the rate of one third of a working week per month worked. For example an employee working five days per week earns 1.67(1 2/3) days holidays per month worked, similarly an employee working four days per week earns holidays at the rate of 1.33(1 1/3) days per month worked.
Do I earn holidays if I'm out sick?

No, holidays are only earned on time worked, time spent on annual leave, time spent on maternity leave, additional maternity leave, parental leave, force majeure leave, adoptive leave and time spent on the first 13 weeks of carers leave.

1.667 days per month

Wishbone Ash

The 20 days are generally based on an 8 hour day, Mon to Fri (i.e. 4 weeks).

If you work a different lenght shift it's done on a pro rata basis.

EG - if an employee works a 13 hour shift 3 days per week, he will get a total of 12 days annual leave, not 20 x 13 hours. He will still have 4 weeks off.
