Really? Australia has only 20 days per year (generally), but we do have 9 public holidays (10 this year in Queensland because they are moving one to the end of the year into the first, so they couldn't do that without having both on a cross-over year).
- bobbles 14y agoThe 28 days referred to as 'standard' in the UK includes their public holidays.
- kirchhoff 14y agoThis is true, but in reality the vast majority of employers do not count public holidays as part of the statutory minimum.
- EnderMB 14y agoAre you sure about that? I've worked a lot of shitty jobs in my time, and every single job I've ever worked at has had the 28 days as the minimum.
- andyjohnson0 14y ago28 days is the statutory minimum. Whether it includes bank holidays depends on the contract of employment. More info here: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/Timeoffandholidays/DG_10029788 http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/Timeoffandh...

- redslazer 14y agoIn australia the unions are so strong in certain areas (mainly skilled labour) that most of the tradies working at one place (where I did some tech consulting) had 40-60 days paid leave (including public holidays, normal paid holidays, R&R, random union days and 10day sick leave).
