Sorry if this does not fall under the scope but some colleagues are harrassing me about holiday entitlement, is there a simple publication that can explain this fully. I have tried interpreting the EU Directive but it is a clear as mud. Alternatively can any kind soul help with this?

The minimum holiday entitlement has increased. If your holiday year (sometimes called a leave year) starts on or after 1 October 2007 the legal minimum is 4.8 weeks a year (24 days if you work a five day week); there is no statutory right to get bank holidays on top of this. If you have a holiday year that does not start in October you will be entitled to a proportion of the additional days.
Your employer may give you more than the minimum 4.8 weeks leave as part of your terms of employment. You can check how much leave you are allowed by referring to your contract or company handbook.
Your employer can set their own rules on any holidays they give over and above the legal minimum. Your employer is not allowed to give you less than the legal minimum.

In response to your question, I have found the website for the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to be very useful. If you go to the Employment Matters section it outlines the recent changes to statutory entitlement to paid holidays.
This is the link
