22.5 days at entry.
23.5 days after 5 years service.
26 days after 15 years service.
30 days after 20 years service.
All assuming a 5 day week.

When I last spoke to HR, they said it should go up in increments. I had been losing out for a few years.
Armed with this information I got had my leave increased by about 2 days.

This was a couple of years ago, and HR may be unwilling to discuss such things now, as my last enquiry was refused. Strange as it was pertinent to my good self.

So if any one could remind me of the annual increment it would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

I'm probably going in September (65) so will I have to pay back any holiday pay as I will be taking the whole of next year's entitlement before then.

As with most employers, any overpayment will be taken out of the employees final wages prior to termination of contract of employment. Leave is generally calculated on days/hours worked, not on a yearly basis.
