Annual Leave FAQ
Everything you need to know about calculating holiday entitlement and understanding UK employment rights.
In the UK, almost all workers are legally entitled to 5.6 weeks (28 days for a full-time worker) of paid holiday per year. This is the statutory minimum, and employers can choose to offer more generous contractual leave.
Pro-rata holiday is calculated by multiplying the number of days or hours you work per week by 5.6. If you work only part of the leave year, this total is then multiplied by the fraction of the year you have worked (e.g., months worked divided by 12).
Yes, employers can include bank and public holidays as part of your statutory 5.6 weeks’ minimum paid leave. There is no separate legal right to take bank holidays off in addition to the statutory minimum, unless your contract specifically states otherwise.
To convert holiday days to hours, multiply your weekly holiday entitlement in days by your normal daily working hours. For example, if you are entitled to 28 days and work 8-hour days, your total entitlement is 224 hours per year (28 × 8).
