NEWS IN BRIEF

The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform has created a handy table on their website to help work out the increased holiday entitlement to which workers are entitled from 1 October 2007.

It explains that the statutory entitlement for a member of staff will depend on when their leave year begins. To work out the entitlement, workers should read across the table from the start date of the leave year.

For example, a member of staff whose leave year begins on 1 April will have a holiday entitlement of:

4.4 weeks in the leave year April 2007-March 2008
4.8 weeks in the leave year April 2008-March 2009
5.6 weeks in the leave year April 2009-March 2010 and onwards.

To work out the number of days they are entitled to, multiply the number of weeks given by the number of days usually worked (eg 4.2 weeks x 5 days = 21 days, 4.2 weeks x 4 days = 16.8 days etc).

To use the calculator, go to: www.berr.gov.uk/employment/holidays/page40455.html
