As per UK employment guidelines, employees working in Great Britain are entitled to 5.6 weeks per annum, which equates to 28 days paid holiday. New staff accrue holiday allocation of one week per three months worked for their new employer.

Bank and Statutory Holidays are included as part of their annual paid holiday, but not as extra days above and beyond the annual entitlement.

The Agency does recommend that the employer maintain a degree of flexibility and understanding with regard to time off for any religious festivals, for example Easter and Christmas.

Employees are entitled to remuneration during their employer’s holidays, as these would be normal working days for the employee, unless they coincided with their own holiday leave.

It may be helpful to communicate with your employee, with a view to planning holiday leave during a similar period, if mutually convenient.

Unpaid leave is discretionary and should be agreed between employer and employee.

On leaving your employment, your domestic worker would be entitled to holiday pay in lieu of any holidays not taken.
