You are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks' holiday a year. This is called statutory holiday.

To work out how many days holiday you can take a year, you need to multiply 5.6 by the number of days you work in a week.

For example:

* if you work a five-day week, you are entitled to 28 days' paid holiday a year (5.6 X 5).
* if you work 2.5 days a week, you are entitled to 14 days' paid holiday a year (5.6 X 2.5).

The maximum amount of statutory paid holiday you can be entitled to is 28 days. This applies even if you work more than five days a week.
