Floating days at work

A question about : Floating days at work

Hi I work a five day week at work and we only get 17 floating days paid off at work a year this is not including bank and public holidays these 17 floating days can be taken at your own choosing if you include the 8 public holidays that totals to 25 days paid leave in one year is this right by law I thought it was 28 days any info on this will be very helpfull thank you

Best answers:

• The legal minimum holiday entitlement is 5.6 weeks, so as you are working a 5 day week that does indeed mean you are entitled to 28 days. This can include public holidays.

  Are you a new employee? If the 17 days are referred to as floating that suggests to me that there may also be some holiday that has to be taken at a fixed time, perhaps at a Christmas close down.
