In practice many people do rather better - it's not uncommon for an employee to have 20 days paid leave, plus the eight public holday days, adding up to 28. If you get into management, you would normally have 25 + 8. In my current job I have 25 + 8 + 1 for five years' service.

I'd go so far as to say that to 20 days paid + statutory holidays is now the absolute minimum, unless you are on short term contracts or temping. In fact 25 days is not uncommon. Better still work for a local authority, as my father did (might have changed now but I doubt it) something like 20 days basic holiday, plus flexitime of one day a month (so you made up the hours but the basic working day seemed so short you that it wwas hardly a strain), then extra holidays for time served, somthing like a day per year for first 10 years. It seemed like he was off work more than he was there!

Just count your lucky stars that as an employer you have that flexibility. Sign up for the EU gravy train and the amount of red tape on businesses that are forced to bend over backwards it's a wonder there are any businesses.
