I don't know if you guys/gals know about the increased minimum holiday entitlement in the UK, if not see here & here.

OK, I've been here at my current place of work for about 3 years now and I have 20 days A/L plus 8 bank hols, so I thought "hey, an extra 5 days". I was wrong, because:

So now what is my total leave entitlement? 28 days (A/L plus bank hols, the same as it's now) and in 2009 when the minimum A/L entitlement goes up to 28 days (including bank hols) - the same as it's now...

Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm guessing a large chunk of employed workers in the UK are in the same boat, Ken.

28 days is seen as 'standard' entitlement, IMHO. It's your bank holidays, plus 4 full weeks of annual leave. You can be canny and tie booking weeks off with bank holidays, to 'stretch it out'.

I personally thought the law was being brought in for employees perhaps in smaller firms that were being exploited on their contracts, etc.

My contract will not be changing with regards to holiday this, or next year.

 

Just blowing off a little stream, in my last job I had 28 days holiday (31 after 5 years) + 8 bank hols (but left due to low wages and high work loads).
