how many days holiday to you get...

being a nosey get and all that, oh and ive asked my boss for more holiday.

i currently get 23 days, plus bank holidays. i think i deserve more! i've worked here for 11 years and think i should have at least 3 or 4 days more. when i started i was on 20 days, so to have only 3 more in 11 years is a little irksome.

am i being unrealistic? my boss currently has 40 days booked off this year, but he owns the company so guess he can do what he likes, but i still think he ought to review my allowance...

26 Days, plus bank holidays.

Have your pay rises been OK in the time you've worked at the firm? It may be worth mentioning at the next pay review.

Company policy is 25 days, increasing by 1 day every 5 years of service to a maximum of 28 days. This year as the company did soooooo well, we get an extra day, so this year i get 27 Plus i get all bank holidays as well.

All in all, its not bad on that front as the 'benchmark' in the industry is 20 days.

Verna gets 20 days

I get 30 days, plus a further 14 extra days to be taken on a monthly basis, and not booked far in advance. As well as bank holidays. On top of that you can add extra time off for compassionate leave, moving house.. etc etc

I'm even getting extra time to go the the Pride events this year as I've told my manager that it's important for my personal development.

But then I do work for a Local Authority.

Weird one where i work.

You get 26 days, but if you don't work bank holiday you loose a days holiday, but if you do work, you keep your holiday and get an extra day or money.

ps. My work is a 24h company.

Every year you work you can an extra day till you have the maximum of 5 extra days.

The standard is about 20 days for us I think, we can also carry over 5 days from the last year.

Oh and I think you can buy or sell holiday days up to 5 days eitherway...

pay rises have been ok, not outstanding but above inflation so can't complain about that

i mentioned it in january boss man said he'd let me know. i've not brought it up but will do soon. wanted a bit of feedback to make sure im not being greedy!!

Well...lets see...

3 weeks for christmas, 3 weeks at easter, and 3.5 months during the summer...

...How the hell will i cope when I actualy have to get a job?!?!

Actualy in fairness to myself the xmas and easter breaks for uni i spend working and revising bar a few days to give myself a chance to wind down and regain some sanity, and the summer revising some material I know I'll need for the next academic year (for example, I spent a bit of tme last summer going over alaytical techniques, I was ashamed during my second year not knowing how to operate some simple instruments and not being able to understand the output!).

We are split here

People employed before carillion took us over are on 24 days holiday 5 of which you have to save for Christmas plus we get bank holidays

those employed directly by Carillion work less hours and get an extra two days holiday a year!

guess which one i am

25 plus public holidays. Have to save some out of that allowance for Christmas though.
