This is getting very confusing...
I think the issue is that the minimum is 20 days. For many/the majority of office workers (where the company does not operate on Bank Holidays, this effectively means 20 days plus 8 Bank Holidays. For many people that do work Bank Holidays, the 20 just means 20 days, so they are 8 days short. What the new law would mean is a minimum of 28 days for all. Since many office workers already have 28, they will not get additional days. The poor sods who only get 20 days now would get 8 more days.
