Employment law support with
annual holiday entitlement
Annual holiday is vital to ensure the well-being and motivation of your workforce. Employees are entitled to paid statutory annual leave under the Working Time Regulations SI 1998-1833. Your employment contracts should clearly state the minimum holiday entitlement an employee is permitted to take.
You should also have in place a holiday request procedure to ensure annual holidays are properly managed and departments are not left short staffed. Such a procedure will also ensure that you have an accurate record of the amount of days any individual employee has taken.
At Q&A Law we understand how to deal with annual holiday requests and with our comprehensive services you'll find the answers to your questions along with a law guide, a step-by-step process guide, letter templates and policy documents to enable you to deal with all your annual holiday procedure issues. This is supported by your own solicitor available on the telephone or by email.
