Perhaps they already had 20 years service in which case they automatically get 6 weeks A/L.

No I get 6 weeks and yes I do pay for it - although to be honest they should make it clearer on the pay chit the only difference is in the totals.

If you do not have 20 years service you can buy extra leave to make your A/L entitlement up to 6 weeks.
The cost is deducted from your wages spread over the year.

You're welcome.
If you want to buy extra leave you can get a form from your Manager.
