All workers are entitled to paid holiday regardless of the number of hours or days per week they work. As a minimum all workers must receive at least 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year.

Ensuring your workers exercise this right is also a consideration that businesses should take account in terms of health and safety – all workers are required to have a break from work.

Calculating holiday entitlement for part-time workers, casual workers and workers with a varying work pattern is not always straightforward.
