Annual holiday entitlement

[dave_morgan]

I'm re-negotiting my employment contract at the moment, and am just wondering what holiday entitlement is 'normal' in my line of work.

I'm a project manager in a software company, a director of the company, a share holder and have been here nearly 11 years.

At the moment I get 20 days + banks (the same as all other employees).

Anyone in a similar job that can give me something to compare to ? (I've already got it up to 25 days, but only at a rate of one extra day per year).

Any comparisons would be useful !

20-25 is the norm because in Senior posts it is impossible to take more IMHO

for the record I get 25 plus 5 study days plus we close at Christmas and I don't have to take that as Holiday

We get 28 days including banks - but after 5 years we get an extra day every year up to a maximum of 33 days incl banks.

Thanks guys, that's pretty much what I am aiming for. 25 + banks (33). I'll just need to see if I can accelerate the point at which the 25 begins though!!

Probably try for Christmas/New year gap time off too. No harm in asking!

I get 2 weeks at Xmas, 2 weeks Summer(can be taken whenever tho) + 2 days + Stat holidays think thats about 26 or 27? Oh and im an assistant QS been with company a year, seniors and Directors get more.

Im going to chance my luck this year and try for 3weeks / month in Summer to visit sis in New Zealand & Aus......will be unpaid of course.
