Closed petition Increase annual holiday entitlement for those who work a 6 day week.

Closed on 23 April 2016

Currently a worker who works a six day week is only entitled to the same statutory annual leave as a worker who works a 5 day week. Despite the 5 day worker getting an extra 52 days leave a year a 6 day worker is not entitled to anymore. Lets change this so a 6 day worker gets another 8 days a year.

Below is taken from the gov.uk website

Most workers who work a 5-day week must receive 28 days’ paid annual leave per year. This is calculated by multiplying a normal week (5 days) by the annual entitlement of 5.6 weeks.

Limits on statutory leave

Statutory paid holiday entitlement is limited to 28 days. Staff working 6 days a week are only entitled to 28 days’ paid holiday and not 33.6 days (5.6 multiplied by 6).
