September 2007 - Are you ready for the new holiday entitlement rules? From the first of next month (1 October 2007) the statutory holiday entitlement for employees will change from 4 weeks to 4.8 weeks per year (24 days for those working 5 days per week). The holiday entitlement is inclusive of bank holidays and therefore there will be no change for employers already paying time off for bank holidays in addition to the 4 weeks holiday entitlement.
