How does holiday work in your company? (UK only)
My company will give you x number of days off, costing you y days holiday. This is meant to reflect the "shoulder days" that office staff would have, i.e. the office staff put in for 5 days holiday and actually have 9 days where they don't have to come into work. Likewise, to get 16 days off work, they only need to take 10 days holiday.
This is in start contrast to the pilots, whose shift pattern means that to take 12 days off, it should "cost" 6 days of holiday- but needless to say, it doesn't.
Just interested to know how everyone else's company works in the 28 days statutory holiday every year?
