Jo W	Since 1998, the law (Working Time Regulations) entitles UK workers to a minimum of four weeks' annual paid leave in each leave year. This minimum includes Bank Holidays but the position might change in future. You will start to 'earn' paid holiday entitlement as soon as you start your job. Your contract/terms of employment will spell out the details re pro-rating, when the leave year ends etc. Part-time employees have a similar right, pro-rated to reflect the proportion of the time they are contracted to work.
