The Truth As It Correlates To » Employment Law Holiday Pay
Annual holiday..is this enough by law?
Hello,
Im just wondering if my husband is getting enough holiday in his employment.
He works a 60 hour week and gets 3 weeks paid leave a year plus all bank holidays.
Is this right?
thankyou
im in the UK
The following is a cut & paste from the acas website.
Most workers - whether part-time or full-time - are legally entitled to 4.8 weeks' paid annual leave. Additional annual leave may be agreed as part of a worker's contract. A week's leave should allow workers to be away from work for a week – ie it should be the same amount of time as the working week. If a worker does a five-day week, he or she is entitled to 24 days leave. If he or she does a three-day week, the entitlement is 14.4 days leave. Employers can set the times that workers take their leave, for example for a Christmas shutdown. If a worker's employment ends, he or she has a right to be paid for the leave time due and not taken.
The Government plans to increase the annual leave entitlement from 4.8 weeks to 5.6 weeks from 1 April 2009. If you work a five-day week, your holiday entitlement will increase from 24 days to 28 days (pro rata for part-time staff). The Work and Families Act will not create a legal right to have a paid day off on Bank Holidays and this remains a contractual matter.
For further information see Holiday Entitlement (BERR) at the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform website. (opens in a new window)
End of paste.
Bank Holidays are only given at employers discretion and are not a legal right. So if your husband is getting all 8 plus three weeks a year
15 & 8 is 23 so he is not getting his full entitlement.

Definitively speaking, a theory is a unifying principle that explains a body of facts and the laws based on them. In other words, it is an explanation to a set of observations. Over time, many theories have been found to be false, usually when additional observations or facts contradict the theory. For instance, the theory that the earth was the center of our solar system was supported for many centuries by the scientific community.
A 'unified field theory' is a type of field theory that allows all of the fundamental forces (gravitation, electromagnetism, the weak interaction, and the strong interaction) between elementary particles to be written in terms of a single field. There is no accepted unified field theory yet, and this remains an open line of research. The term was coined by Albert Einstein who attempted to unify the general theory of relativity with electromagnetism.
