Re: Workers To Win Bank Holiday Rights

Hi Paul,

Thats the whole point of the proposed legislation. Currently some peopl are given, typically 20 days paid leave per annum; in some cases Bank Holidays must be taken out of this, or worked. The proposal is that there be a minimum 20 days paid leave by law, PLUS Bank Holidays as additional paid leave.

As can be seen by the earlier post, this would severely damage small businesses who, contrary to popular opinion, cannot just "swallow" such additional costs.
