You're entitled to 4 weeks and 2 days a year, so 2 weeks and 1 day for a six month contract.

Actually I think for anyone under 5 years service its only 4 weeks.

Although your initial contract should state your leave entitlement.

On entry = Four and a half weeks
After 5 years = Four weeks 3.5 days
After 15 years = Five weeks 1 day
After 20 years = Six weeks

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

depends on how many days a week you work (not including working days off) if 5 then its 11 - if its 6 then yes 13.

If you were employed for 12 months you would be entitled to 22.5 days so if you only work for six months you will be entitled to half of this i.e. 11.25 days.
The number of hours you are contracted to work a week are irrelevant really.
