don't know exact,
but it does go in complete years so any extra days will start to accrue from the following April.
I started in about the 2nd week of April, the following April/May everyone got about £800 bonus and i got naff all,

[mbavelja]

Entry level 22.5 days
5 years......23.5 days
15 years.....26 days
20 years.....30 days

the statutory leave entitlement for a full time employee is 28 days a year which can include bank holidays

after 15 years you get an extra weeks holiday, then 20 years a further week up to a total of 6 weeks per annum

the extra 2 weeks, 15 then 20 years is not statutory but has been included in the contract of employment

if there is any confusion consult the employment rights act

Wrong, it accrues throughout the year. When my 20 years service occurred last August, i phoned HR and they told me my holidays for that year would be credited at 4 months at 19 years service and 8 months at 20 years, giving me 5 weeks and 4 days.

Your manager has a holiday template to allow him to work out what you are owed and if he tells you differently, he's lying.

Phone HR, they will give you all the information you need including how many days you're entitled to for that year

Nope maximum entitlement is 30 days annual holiday (ignoring any accrued bank holidays).

You still get the 6 weeks ( 6 x 5 days) holiday but instead of paying for 7.5 days like a new starter does - you pay for only another 4.

Balders,who is normally well informed posted this a while back...

Previous service doesn't count for seniority, but it does count for Annual Leave entitlement.

Leave Entitlements

This agreement delivers improved leave opportunities, principally by providing front-line employees for the first time with the maximum six weeks annual holiday. The agreement also incorporates former “privilege days” (Post Office Holidays) into standard entitlements, giving more flexibility over how and when these may be taken, and offers all employees the chance to opt for the maximum six weeks’ leave, in lieu of pay, even before 20 years’ service is achieved. The new leave entitlements, which include and replace the days previously taken separately as “Post Office privilege days”, will be as follows:

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

These entitlements are expressed in weeks and days, with a week’s leave being a whole week irrespective of how many attendances are due. A half week’s leave is a number of odd days equal to half the average number of weekly attendances due. Any balance of entitlement to odd days represents that number of daily attendances, except where a (full- or part-time) job requires three or fewer attendances per week, in week case the balance of odd days entitlement is reduced pro-rata to a five day week, rounded to the nearest half day (e.g. the entitlement for a three-day week employee with 5 years service is 4 weeks 2 days).

All periods of service on a temporary or permanent contract (with periods of casual service included only if they run continuously into a temporary or permanent contract), except for those on unpaid leave, SPPR, or with HM Forces exceeding 15 days, will count towards calculating leave due. Previous periods of PO service may be counted for this purpose.

For part-years worked, or where the entitlement changes mid-year, the entitlement will be calculated pro-rata to the proportion(s) of the year worked, rounded to the nearest half day.
