how much paid holiday should employees be entitles too?

Employees are generally entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks (28 days) of paid holiday per year, which is the statutory annual leave entitlement in many jurisdictions including the UK. This includes most types of workers such as full-time, part-time, agency, and irregular hours workers. For part-time employees, the entitlement is calculated pro-rata based on the number of days or hours worked. Employers can also include bank holidays as part of the statutory leave entitlement if stated in contracts. Bank holidays may or may not be included depending on the employer's policy, but the total statutory paid holiday should not be less than 28 days for a full-time worker. If a worker works more than 5 days a week, the leave is still capped at 28 days. Employees accrue holiday from the first day of work and paid holiday includes regular payments linked to their contract such as commission or overtime. In contracts specifying leave plus bank holidays, employers should check to avoid falling short of the statutory minimum. Workers who work irregular hours or part-time must have their holiday entitlement calculated fairly, either through average hours or accrued leave. Overall, the typical minimum paid holiday entitlement is 5.6 weeks or 28 days a year for a full-time employee, with adjustments made for part-time or irregular working patterns.
