DTI Press Release
11 January 2007
Jim Fitzpatrick, Employment Minister, today announced the
Government's proposals to increase workers' holiday entitlement
from 20 days per year to 28.  New research has shown that up to
six million workers would benefit from an extra eight days
holiday each year under the plans. Some employers currently
include the eight bank holidays as part of workers' 20-day annual
leave entitlement (pro-rata for part-timers).
